Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the siting and appearance of the proposed installation on the character and appearance of the area and, if any harm would occur, whether this is outweighed by the need for the installation to be sited as proposed taking into account any suitable alternatives

What decided it

The low level of harm to character and appearance was outweighed by the demonstrated need for 5G infrastructure in the area and the absence of suitable alternative sites following a sequential approach.
