Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The significant harmful effect on the character and appearance of the area resulting from the likely damage to or loss of the mature tree that currently screens the development and contributes positively to the streetscene.

The moderate weight given to the benefits of 5G telecommunications infrastructure and economic growth was outweighed by the significant harm to character and appearance from the likely loss or distortion of the mature tree that screens the built form.
