Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the siting and appearance of the proposed installation on the character and appearance of the area 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 very significant weight given to the public benefits of providing improved 5G digital connectivity to the locality outweighed the significant harm to the character and appearance of the immediate area, particularly as the appeal site represented the least harmful alternative location.
