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

What decided it

The slender form of the mast and modest scale of the cabinets would assimilate acceptably with existing street infrastructure and be adequately screened by mature trees, resulting in an acceptable effect on character and appearance.
