Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development's siting on highway safety

What decided it

The proposal fails to demonstrate how its siting would allow safe interaction with existing transport networks and does not provide adequate mitigation of highway safety harm arising from the shortcomings of the appeal site location.

The economic and social benefits of improved 5G telecommunications infrastructure were outweighed by the unmitigated harm to highway safety arising from the site's location and immediate surroundings.
