Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on air traffic control radar at Liverpool John Lennon Airport
- The effect of the development on heritage assets, namely the Conservation Area and a Grade II Listed church
- That alternative sites for the proposal have been fully explored
- The effect of the development on trees
What decided it
The inadequate evidence of alternative site assessment combined with the less than substantial but unmitigated harm to the setting of the Grade II Listed Building meant the public benefits of 5G provision could not outweigh the identified harms.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy STP5Policy GI9
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 114Paragraph 115Paragraph 116Paragraph 117Paragraph 202
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
