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, with particular regard to the Old Chiswick Conservation Area
- the effect of the siting and appearance of the proposed installation on the living conditions of nearby residential occupiers with regards to outlook
- if any harm would occur, whether this is outweighed by the need for the installation to be sited in the proposed location, taking into account any suitable alternative sites
What decided it
The appellant did not satisfactorily demonstrate that the proposed site was necessary or that suitable alternative sites had been adequately explored, which prevented the public benefits of 5G deployment from outweighing the less than substantial harm to the Old Chiswick Conservation Area.
