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, including the setting of a nearby Listed Building

What decided it

The less than substantial harm to the significance of the designated heritage asset and the harmful visual effect on the character and appearance of the local area could not be outweighed by the public benefits of the 5G network rollout.

The public benefits of 5G coverage and telecommunications infrastructure, including support for home working, were weighed against the less than substantial harm to the heritage asset and harm to character and appearance; the balance tipped against the proposal because heritage assets are an irreplaceable resource to which great weight must be given.
