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
  • if any harm were to occur, whether this is outweighed by the need for the installation to be sited as proposed taking account of any suitable alternatives

What decided it

The absence of suitable alternative sites within the constrained search area, combined with the compelling need for local 5G coverage, outweighed the minor harm to character and appearance.
