Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the siting and appearance of the proposal on 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 that installation

What decided it

The siting and appearance of the proposed monopole would cause significant harm to the character and appearance of the area that would not be outweighed by the need for the installation.

The support in the Framework for high quality communications infrastructure and 5G expansion was outweighed by the requirement for sympathetic design and the significant visual harm to the character and appearance of the area.

Framework references: 115, 117, 130

Plan policies cited: Policy CS74, UDP Policy BE14, UDP Policy S10

What an account adds

Draw a red line around your site and the appraisal follows.

Heritage. Listed buildings by grade and distance, conservation areas, scheduled monuments, registered parks and gardens, heritage at risk.
Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.

Then the development plan position, the housing land supply as an Inspector last accepted it, and every appeal decided around the site with its letter.

Every English appeal since 2016, with the letter behind it wherever the Inspectorate published one. Searched by meaning as well as by words, with the key case law counted live across the letters.

Casework that chases the deadlines. Applications, appeals and conditions with their statutory dates.

The judgement stays yours. The tool gathers the material and dates it.
