Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host building and the surrounding area, with particular regard to the extent to which it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Sea Mills Conservation Area and the locally important heritage asset of St. Edyth's Church

What decided it

The unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the host building and the Sea Mills Conservation Area, combined with insufficient evidence that suitable alternative sites with lesser impact had been fully explored, outweighed the moderate weight given to telecommunications benefits.
