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 would be outweighed by the need to site the installation in the proposed location, having regard to the availability of alternative sites
What decided it
The operational and locational needs of the operator do not outweigh the significant harm to character and appearance caused by siting the monopole in this prominent location adjacent residential properties and community open space, particularly given insufficient evidence that alternative sites were adequately considered.
