Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effects of the siting and appearance of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area and, if any harm would occur, whether this would be outweighed by the need to site the installation in the proposed location, having regard to the potential availability of alternative sites
  • The effects of the siting of the proposal on highway and pedestrian safety

What decided it

The absence of realistic alternative sites to deliver the required network coverage and capacity, combined with the significant social and economic benefits of improved 5G telecommunications infrastructure, outweighed the moderate harm to character and appearance.
