Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the siting and appearance of the proposal on nearby designated heritage assets
- Whether any harm caused would be outweighed by the need for the installation in the proposed location, having regard to the potential availability of alternative sites
What decided it
The siting and appearance of the monopole would cause less than substantial harm to designated heritage assets, and this harm would not be outweighed by the telecommunications benefits, particularly given insufficient evidence that alternative sites causing less harm had been properly ruled out.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy LD4
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 114Paragraph 117Paragraph 202
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.
