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
if there is any harm, whether this would be outweighed by the need for the installation to be sited as proposed, having regard to the potential availability of alternative sites

What decided it

The significant harm to character and appearance caused by the height, scale and siting of the monopole was not outweighed by the need for the installation or the benefits of improved 5G coverage, particularly given that alternative sites had not been adequately justified as unsuitable.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: Policy BE14Policy H14(l)Policy CS74
National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 114Paragraph 115Paragraph 117Paragraph 130
