Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed installation on the character and appearance of the area including the setting of the Wollaton Park Conservation Area, the setting of the Grade II* Registered Park and Garden at Wollaton Hall and the setting of the Grade II Listed Park Wall and Gateways Bordering Wollaton Road
  • 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 or any associated public benefits

What decided it

The absence of clear demonstration that no other alternative site is available for the works meant that the public benefits associated with improved telecommunications infrastructure would not outweigh the less than substantial harm to the significance of the designated heritage assets.
