Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the siting of the development would be acceptable in relation to highway safety, in particular pedestrian movement
- whether the siting and appearance of the development is acceptable in relation to the character and appearance of the area, having regard to the impact on the setting of the Walham Green and Walham Grove Conservation Areas
What decided it
The substantial public benefits of 5G coverage to the urban area, the absence of reasonable alternative sites, and the localised and modest nature of the heritage harm outweighed the conflict with development plan policies and the less than substantial harm to the conservation area setting.
The less than substantial harm to the setting of the Walham Green Conservation Area and conflict with heritage policies was outweighed by the substantial public benefits of 5G coverage, the absence of reasonable alternative sites, and the localised and modest nature of the visual harm, such that prior approval should be granted.
