Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the siting and appearance on the character and appearance of the area including the setting of listed buildings
- 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 monopole would cause less than substantial harm to the setting of listed buildings and the character of the area, and this harm was not outweighed by the public benefits of enhanced 5G coverage, particularly given that the appellant had not adequately demonstrated that alternative sites were not viable.
