Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area and, in the event that any harm is identified, whether that harm would be outweighed by the need to site the installation in the location proposed, having regard to the potential availability of alternative sites
What decided it
The operational and locational needs of the telecommunications operators, the enhancement of the local network, the sharing of the structure to minimise proliferation, and the lack of available alternative sites outweighed the moderate harm to character and appearance caused by potential loss of a semi-mature tree.
