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 the significance of heritage assets
- The effect of the proposal on pedestrian safety
What decided it
The failure to demonstrate that no suitable alternative sites exist that would be less harmful to heritage assets, combined with the serious visual harm to the setting of the listed castle and conservation areas and the compromise to pedestrian safety, meant that the public benefits of 5G coverage could not outweigh the identified harms.
