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 setting and significance of the Newington Green Conservation 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 siting and appearance of the proposed 20m monopole would cause less than substantial harm to the setting and significance of the Newington Green Conservation Area which, given the great weight to be afforded to heritage conservation, was not outweighed by the public benefits of the telecommunications infrastructure, particularly as alternative sites had not been properly explored.
