Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the siting and appearance of the proposed installation on the character and appearance of the locality 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 public benefits of improved telecommunications infrastructure and network continuity demonstrably outweigh the less than substantial harm to the heritage setting of Cannon Hill Park and moderate adverse impact on character and appearance, particularly given that alternative sites would not provide a better balance.
