Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of siting and appearance of the proposed installation on the setting of nearby designated heritage assets
  • Whether any harm 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 less than substantial harm to the settings of multiple designated heritage assets and the rural character of the area was not outweighed by the public benefits of improved telecommunications connectivity, and the alternative site search was insufficiently robust.
