Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the siting and appearance of the appeal proposal would be acceptable
- The effect on the free and safe flow of pedestrian traffic along the pavement
- Whether there is an established need for the proposed development in this location
- Whether there is evidence to demonstrate that the proposed electronic communications infrastructure is not expected to cause significant and irremediable interference with other electrical equipment
- If harm would result from the proposed development, whether it would be outweighed by the need for it
What decided it
The height and prominent siting of the installation in the centre of the pavement would result in harm to the character and appearance of the area that outweighs the benefits of improved communications coverage.
