Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the siting and appearance of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, and if any harm would occur, whether this 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 lack of available alternative sites to deliver the required telecommunications coverage and capacity, combined with the operational and locational needs of the operator, outweighed the small amount of localised harm to character and appearance.
