Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the siting and appearance of the proposed installation on the character and appearance of the area
- if any harm would occur, whether this is outweighed by the need for the installation to be sited as proposed taking into account any suitable alternatives
What decided it
The siting and appearance of the proposed monopole would cause significant harmful visual effect on the character and appearance of the area, and this harm was not outweighed by the need for the installation or the alternative sites considered, as other feasible less harmful locations appeared available.

- Paragraph 121
