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 whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Osterley Park Conservation Area and, 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 combination of the lack of alternative sites and the significant public, economic and social benefits of the 5G network upgrade outweighed the less than substantial harm to the conservation area and character and appearance of the area.
