Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the street scene and cycle provision, and whether any harm caused is 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 absence of suitable and available alternative sites that would have a less harmful impact on the character and appearance of the area, combined with the substantial social and economic benefits of the telecommunications infrastructure, outweighed the limited harmful effect on the street scene.
The substantial social and economic benefits of the proposal, including increased network capacity and ultra-fast connectivity, outweighed the limited harmful effect on the street scene in close quarters.
