Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the siting and appearance of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area, with particular regard to whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Lace Market Conservation Area
- whether any harm caused would be outweighed by any benefits of the proposal, including the need to site the installation in the location proposed having regard to the potential availability of alternative sites
What decided it
The siting and appearance of the proposed mast would cause less than substantial harm to the Lace Market Conservation Area which was not outweighed by the moderate public benefits of improved 5G coverage, particularly given that suitable alternative sites had not been robustly explored.
