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 strong need for the installation to be sited as proposed, given the lack of reasonable alternative options and the serious deficiency in communications services that would result if the proposal did not proceed, outweighed the relatively localised harm to character and appearance.
