Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effects of the siting and appearance of the mast on the character and appearance of the area
  • The effects of the siting and appearance of the mast on the living conditions of occupiers of nearby dwellings

What decided it

The scale and siting of the mast would cause significant adverse impacts on both the character and appearance of the local area and the living conditions of nearby residents through poor outlook, which could not be outweighed by the public benefits of 5G coverage or the lack of evidence regarding alternative sites.
