Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effects of the siting and appearance of the mast on the character and appearance of the area and on living conditions of occupiers of adjacent dwellings

What decided it

The mast's 20m height, slim profile, limited visibility from local viewpoints, and sufficient distance from adjacent dwellings mean it would not harm character and appearance or living conditions, satisfying the GPDO assessment criteria.
