Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the siting and appearance of the proposed installation on safe pedestrian movement 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 significant harm to safe pedestrian movement and highway safety arising from the siting of the development on a narrow, busy footway was not outweighed by the moderate weight given to the need for improved telecommunications network coverage.
