Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the siting and appearance of the proposed installation preserves or enhances the character or appearance of the Meyrick Park and Talbot Woods Conservation Area
If not, whether any harm is outweighed by the need for the installation to be sited as proposed, taking into account any suitable alternatives

What decided it

The failure to demonstrate that no viable alternative sites exist outside the conservation area that could provide the required 5G coverage with less harm to the heritage asset meant the public benefits could not outweigh the significant harm to the conservation area.

Development plan policies: Policy 4.4Policy 5.11Policy DS41
