Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the siting and appearance of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the area, and in the event that any harm is identified, whether that harm would be outweighed by the need for the installation and the lack of less harmful alternative sites
What decided it
The proposal would materially harm the character and appearance of the area through its prominent, bulky and intrusive appearance, and viable less harmful alternative sites exist, such that the need for the installation does not outweigh the harm.
The need for 5G mobile phone coverage and network infrastructure (modest weight) was outweighed by the material harm to character and appearance and the availability of less harmful alternative sites.
