Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the siting and appearance of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The siting and appearance of the mast would have a harmful visual effect on the character and appearance of the local area that was not outweighed by the benefits of telecommunications infrastructure provision.
The importance of 5G network rollout and telecommunications infrastructure, whilst important, did not outweigh the harm caused to the character and appearance of the area.
