Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the siting and appearance of the proposal upon the character and appearance of the area including upon the settings and significance of Grade II Listed Buildings as designated heritage assets
  • if any harm would occur, whether it is outweighed by the need for the installation to be sited as proposed taking into account any suitable alternatives

What decided it

The identified harm to the settings and significance of four designated heritage assets and to the character and appearance of the area was not outweighed by the public benefits of 5G provision, particularly given insufficient evidence that alternative sites had been properly considered.
