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, including the setting of Wellington Conservation Area and the setting of a grade II listed building, The Mount, and if any harm would occur, whether this is outweighed by the need for the installation to be sited as proposed taking into account suitable alternatives

What decided it

The considerable public benefits of improved mobile connectivity, including 5G provision and replacement of lost coverage, outweigh the less than substantial harm to the significance of The Mount, particularly given the absence of suitable alternative sites.
