Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effects of the proposed development on the site's archaeological interest

What decided it

The urban character of the area as a whole, combined with the slim and streamlined design of the proposed mast and the negligible archaeological impact due to the site's small footprint and prior disturbance, meant the development would cause no material harm to character, appearance or archaeology.
