Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the siting and appearance of the proposal 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 siting and appearance of the proposed monopole would cause material harm to the character and appearance of the area that is not outweighed by the need for the installation, as the appellant has not provided sufficient evidence that suitable alternative sites have been fully explored and found to be infeasible.
