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, if harm would occur, whether that is outweighed by the need to site the installation in the proposed location
What decided it
The proposal would cause significant harm to the character and appearance of the area that is not outweighed by the benefits of 5G network provision, particularly as it has not been demonstrated that the appeal site is the best available option for minimising such harm.
