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, having regard to whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Spring Grove Conservation Area
  • highway and pedestrian safety
  • if any harm would occur, whether this is outweighed by the need for the installation to be sited as proposed taking into account any suitable alternatives

What decided it

The significant harmful visual effect on the character and appearance of the Spring Grove Conservation Area from multiple viewpoints, which would not be outweighed by the public benefits of 5G technology or the need for installation at this specific location, given the apparent availability of reasonable alternative sites.
