Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the siting and appearance of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, including the setting of locally listed buildings
  • 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 need for the installation to provide essential 5G coverage to an underserved area, with the appeal site representing the least harmful alternative location, outweighed the harm to character and appearance and heritage setting.
