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, including trees and biodiversity
- the effect of the siting and appearance of the proposed installation on flood risk
- if any harm were to occur, whether this would be outweighed by the need for the installation to be sited as proposed, considering any suitable alternatives
What decided it
The siting and appearance of the proposed monopole would cause significant harm to the character and appearance of the area, combined with unresolved flood risk concerns and insufficient evidence that alternative sites could not deliver the same benefits with less harmful effects.
