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 on the setting of a locally listed building
- whether adequate information has been submitted to ensure that the proposal would not have an adverse impact on nearby trees
- 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 proposal would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area and to the setting of the locally listed Rose Hill Cemetery Lodge, a non-designated heritage asset, which could not be outweighed by the public benefits of 5G provision.
