Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal's public benefits would be outweighed by any impacts from its siting and appearance on the character of the area and on the appearance of the street scene, having regard to the existence of less harmful alternative sites in the event that harm is identified
What decided it
The public benefits of improved 5G digital connectivity in the target area outweighed the limited harm to the appearance of the street scene from the monopole's scale and conspicuous siting.
The need for the facility and the benefits of improved digital connectivity outweighed the harm arising from its scale and appearance in a relatively open setting
