Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Clifton and Hotwells Conservation Area or the setting of nearby listed buildings

What decided it

The significant public benefits of introducing 5G technology and improving digital telecommunications coverage and capacity in the area, combined with the lack of realistic alternative sites, outweighed the less than substantial harm to the heritage assets.
