Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- whether the absence of suitable alternative sites has been robustly demonstrated
- whether it has been demonstrated that the proposal is acceptable with respect to its effect on the living conditions of nearby residents, with regard to noise
What decided it
The considerable harm to character and appearance of the area, combined with failure to robustly demonstrate absence of suitable alternatives and inadequate evidence on noise impacts, outweighs national and local policy support for digital communications infrastructure.
Plan policies cited: Policy H5, Policy DE1, Policy C2, Policy DS3
