Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the acceptability of the siting and appearance of the development having regard to impacts on the character of the area including the South Downs National Park and the setting of the Liss Conservation Area
  • 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 need for the development, its associated public benefits in terms of improved network coverage, and the absence of more optimal alternatives available outweighed the identified harm to character, appearance and the conservation area setting.
