Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the landscape and scenic beauty of the Northumberland National Park

What decided it

The significant public benefits of improved communications infrastructure and the absence of a suitable alternative site, when weighed against the moderate harm to the National Park landscape, justified approval as a matter of material consideration outweighing development plan conflict.
