Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the siting and appearance of the proposed installation upon the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the siting and appearance of the proposed installation upon highway safety
- if any harm would occur, whether this would be outweighed by the need for the installation to be sited as proposed taking into account any suitable alternatives
What decided it
The significant and unacceptable harms arising from the siting and appearance of the monopole, combined with inadequate demonstration that suitable alternative sites had been properly considered, meant the public benefits of maintaining network provision could not outweigh these harms.
