Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effects of the siting and appearance of the proposal on the landscape and scenic beauty of the South Downs National Park
Whether the proposal would preserve the setting of the Buriton Conservation Area
If any harm would occur in respect of the above issues, 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 principle of development is established by the GPDO 2015 and no suitable alternative sites are available within the target area, therefore the appeal must be allowed despite the identified landscape and heritage harm being outweighed by the public benefits of the telecommunications infrastructure.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: SD1SD4SD5SD6SD7SD15SD44SD47
National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 114Paragraph 116Paragraph 118Paragraph 176Paragraph 202
