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 and, 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 visual harm to the character and appearance of the area caused by the siting and appearance of the proposed monopole was not outweighed by the need for the installation to be sited as proposed, given the lack of comprehensive evidence that suitable alternative sites had been properly explored.
