Inspector: Veevers A
Postcode: L18 5HJ

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
the effect of the siting and appearance of the proposed installation on trees
whether there would be interference with air traffic services, instrumentation or other electrical equipment
if any harm would be caused in these regards, whether this is outweighed by the need to site the installation in the location proposed, taking into account any suitable alternatives

What decided it

The harmful effect on character and appearance, combined with unresolved concerns about tree impacts and air traffic interference, and failure to demonstrate that the proposed site was the least harmful option, outweighed the general benefits of 5G deployment which are already recognised through permitted development rights.
