Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the siting and appearance of the proposed development is acceptable with regards to its effect on the character or appearance of the area and pedestrian movement
- if any harm is found, whether this is outweighed by the need to site the installation in the location proposed, having regard to the availability of suitable alternative sites
What decided it
The absence of suitable alternative sites combined with the substantial economic and social benefits of 5G provision outweighed the moderate harm to character and appearance.
The substantial social and economic benefits of the proposal outweighed the moderate harm to the character and appearance of the area.
