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, including on the setting of the Grade II listed Beresford Court; and if any harm were to occur, whether this is outweighed by the need for the installation to be sited as proposed, taking account of any suitable alternatives
What decided it
The harm to the setting of the Grade II listed building Beresford Court, assessed as less than substantial but given substantial weight, was not outweighed by the public benefits of improved telecommunications provision, particularly given the lack of convincing evidence that alternative sites had been thoroughly reviewed.
