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
- Whether any harm would be outweighed by the need for the installation to be sited as proposed having regard to the potential availability of alternative sites
What decided it
The unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area caused by the prominent siting of the monopole was not outweighed by the benefits of 5G coverage, as less harmful alternative sites had not been properly explored.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy 14Policy 24
- 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.
