Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the siting and appearance of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area and, 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 public benefits of delivering 5G coverage and associated economic and social benefits, combined with the absence of a demonstrably more suitable alternative site, outweigh the limited harm to character and appearance.
