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 is outweighed by the need for the installation to be sited as proposed taking into account any suitable alternatives

What decided it

The appeal site represents the least harmful location available for the installation when compared to alternative sites, and the need for 5G infrastructure outweighs the identified harm to character and appearance.
