Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the siting and appearance of the proposal on (i) the character and appearance of the area, including nearby trees; (ii) the living conditions of nearby residential properties with particular regard to outlook
- if any harm is identified, whether it would be outweighed by the need for the installation to be sited as proposed taking into account any suitable alternatives
What decided it
The harm to character and appearance of the area and living conditions of nearby residents, combined with the lack of a robust alternative site search demonstrating necessity for this location, outweighed the moderate benefits of improved telecommunications coverage.
