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, 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

What decided it

The appellant failed to comprehensively assess alternative sites and demonstrate that the appeal site was the best available option for minimising harm, such that the benefits of 5G provision could not justify the less than substantial harm to the listed building or the harm to the semi-rural character and appearance of the area.

What the Inspector cited

National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 119Paragraph 121Paragraph 205Paragraph 206Paragraph 208
