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

What decided it

The proposed siting and appearance would not be harmful to the character and appearance of the area, and alternative locations offered no clear advantage, particularly given the Framework's support for 5G expansion and the inevitable visual intrusion of any new base station in the constrained search area.
