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 surrounding trees, and on the significance of designated heritage assets

What decided it

The monopole's slender design and modest scale, combined with the backdrop and softening effect of surrounding mature trees, would ensure the installation does not appear as an isolated or unduly obtrusive structure, thereby preserving the character and appearance of the area and the setting of designated heritage assets.
