Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the siting and appearance of the proposal on the character and appearance of the Fishlake Conservation Area and the setting of the nearby Grade II listed building
- if there is any harm, whether this would be outweighed by the need for the installation to be sited as proposed, having regard to the potential availability of alternative sites
What decided it
The harm to the Conservation Area and listed building setting was not outweighed by the public benefits of 5G infrastructure, and insufficient justification was provided for why alternative, potentially less harmful sites had not been adequately explored.
