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 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 appellant did not demonstrate that the appeal site represents the least harmful option available within the search area, and therefore the benefits of improved telecommunications coverage did not outweigh the harm to character and appearance.
What the Inspector cited
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 114
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
