Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the siting and appearance of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area and on pedestrian movement
  • Whether any harm would be outweighed by the need to site the installation in the location proposed, taking into account any suitable alternatives

What decided it

The limited harm to character and appearance and pedestrian movement was outweighed by the need to site the installation at this location to provide 5G coverage and the absence of a more suitable alternative site within the relevant search area.
