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, with particular regard to non-designated heritage assets at White Post Farm House and Laindon Common, 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 absence of suitable alternative sites to effectively expand the appellant's 5G network, combined with the principle of development being established by the GPDO, outweighed the moderate harm to character and appearance and low harm to non-designated heritage assets.
