Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the siting and appearance of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the siting and appearance of the development on the setting of local historical buildings
- Whether the need for the installation as proposed would outweigh the harm caused when considering any alternative locations
What decided it
The significant harmful effect of the pole's siting and appearance on the character and appearance of the area was not outweighed by the need for the telecommunications installation, as the appellant had not convincingly demonstrated that the appeal site was the only or best available location.
