Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the locality
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of nearby residents with particular regard to outlook
- if any harm is caused, whether it is outweighed by other considerations
What decided it
The significant harm to the living conditions of nearby residents through poor outlook, combined with moderate harm to character and appearance and failure to demonstrate that alternative sites causing less harm had been properly considered, outweighed the benefits of enhanced 5G coverage.
The social and economic benefits of enhanced 5G coverage and capacity were outweighed by the moderate adverse impact on character and appearance and significant harm to the living conditions of nearby residents through poor outlook.
