Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the siting and appearance of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area, with particular regard to whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Thames Conservation Area
- Whether any harm caused would be outweighed by any benefits of the proposal, including the need to site the installation in the location proposed having regard to the potential availability of alternative sites
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the significance of the Thames Conservation Area was not outweighed by the substantial public benefits of the telecommunications proposal, as the evidence did not conclusively demonstrate that a less harmful alternative site was unavailable.
The considerable importance and weight attached to the identified harm to the conservation area was not outweighed by the substantial weight attached to the benefits of the proposal, including the need to site the installation in the location proposed having regard to the potential availability of alternative sites.
