Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the siting and appearance of the proposed installation on the character and appearance of the area and whether or not it would harm the setting of the St Mary Magdalene 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 significant harm to character and appearance and the setting of the conservation area, combined with the failure to prove that less harmful alternative sites were not available, outweighed the telecommunications benefits.
