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 surrounding area

What decided it

The monopole's height of 17.5 metres would create significant visual harm to the character and appearance of the area by standing out as an incongruous feature against the low-level scale of local buildings, and the appellant's failure to fully explore less harmful alternative locations meant the benefits did not outweigh this harm.

What the Inspector cited

Strategic Policy APolicy BL10
National Planning Policy Framework
Paragraph 118Paragraph 119
