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 and the setting of designated heritage assets
  • Whether any harm would be outweighed by the need to site the installation in the location proposed, having regard to the potential availability of alternative sites

What decided it

The availability of an alternative less harmful site on the roof of the multi-storey car park that would provide the required coverage without the visual harm of the ground-based column.

The significant need for a replacement telecommunications site was outweighed by the visual harm to character and appearance and heritage setting, given the availability of a less harmful alternative site that would provide greater coverage.
