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, 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 appellant did not adequately demonstrate that the appeal site represents the least harmful alternative location for the 5G installation, as other sites in more urban or better-screened locations appear viable but were insufficiently investigated.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy 5.11 of the Bournemouth District Wide Local Plan (February 2002)Policy CS41 of the Bournemouth Local Plan: Core Strategy (October 2012)
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 115Paragraph 117
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
