Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Kirtlington Conservation Area

What decided it

The proposed mast would cause less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the Kirtlington Conservation Area, which when weighed against the limited public benefits of improved telecommunications coverage, results in the harm being significantly and demonstrably outweighed in accordance with paragraph 202 of the Framework.
