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, including the effect on the setting of the St Marks and Canal Conservation Area and the nearby scheduled monument, 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 siting and appearance of the proposed monopole would cause less than substantial harm to the setting and significance of designated heritage assets, and this harm was not outweighed by the public benefits of improved telecommunications coverage, particularly given that the appellant had not demonstrated the appeal site was the only viable alternative location.
