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 and the setting of the nearby Grade II* listed building
- 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 harm to the significance of the Grade II* listed building, which attracts considerable weight under Framework paragraphs 199-200, was not outweighed by the moderate public benefits of 5G infrastructure, and the appellant had not adequately demonstrated that no more suitable alternative sites were available.
Framework references: 114, 199, 200, 202
