Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether or not the proposal would preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Mill Hill Conservation Area having regard to other designated heritage assets and protected trees
- In the event that any harm is identified whether that harm would be outweighed by the need to site the installation in the location proposed and any benefits associated with the proposal
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the significance of designated heritage assets, particularly the setting of the Grade II Listed Milestone and War Memorial and the character of the Conservation Area, was not outweighed by the public benefits of the 5G installation.
