Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the siting and appearance of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area and the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with regard to outlook
- where harm is identified, whether this would be outweighed by the need for the installation to be sited as proposed, having regard to the potential availability of alternative sites
What decided it
The substantial benefit of improvements to local communications infrastructure and the lack of suitable alternative sites outweighed the limited harm to neighbouring outlook.
