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 the significance of heritage assets

What decided it

The failure to establish that no suitable alternative sites exist that would prove less harmful to heritage assets meant the public benefits of 5G coverage could not outweigh the serious harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area and the settings of nearby listed buildings.
