The effect of the siting and appearance of the proposed installation on the street scene, on a designated Strategic Area of Special Character (SASC) and on an adjacent area of Metropolitan Open Land (MOL) and, if any harm would occur, whether this is outweighed by the need for the installation to be sited as proposed

What decided it

The public benefit of 5G coverage rollout and mast sharing for the Emergency Services Network, combined with the acceptable siting and appearance of the monopole in its context, outweighs any harm to the Strategic Area of Special Character.
