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 area, with particular regard to the non-designated heritage asset of The Baldwin public house
- if any harm would occur, whether this is outweighed by the need for the installation to be sited in this position by taking into account any suitable alternative sites and the public benefits
What decided it
The siting and appearance of the proposed mast would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area and to the significance of the non-designated heritage asset, and the appellant failed to demonstrate with sufficient rigour that no suitable alternative sites existed.
