Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The harm to character and appearance arising from the siting and visual obtrusiveness of the monopole in this prominent residential corner location outweighed the moderate benefits of improved 5G coverage and digital connectivity.
The moderate weight afforded to the economic and social benefits of the proposal was outweighed by the significant weight given to the harm to character and appearance of the area.
