Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the siting and appearance of the proposals on the character and appearance of the area and the outlook of nearby occupants
- the effect of the siting and appearance of the proposals on highway safety
- in the event that harm is identified, whether this would be outweighed by other considerations including the need to locate the installation on the appeal site having regard to the potential availability of alternative sites
What decided it
The significant and unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area, the health and appearance of trees, and the outlook of nearby occupants, combined with insufficient evidence that alternative sites had been comprehensively assessed, meant the benefits of improved 5G coverage could not outweigh the identified harm.
