Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effects of the siting and appearance of the proposed installation on the character and appearance of the area
- the effects of the siting and appearance of the proposed installation on highway and pedestrian safety
- the effects of the proposed installation on the potential future development at the neighbouring site at No. 316 Wandsworth Bridge Road
- the effects of potential future development at the neighbouring site at No. 316 Wandsworth Bridge Road on the signal range of the proposed installation
- whether any harm identified would be outweighed by the need for the installation and the lack of less harmful alternative sites
What decided it
The lack of suitable and reasonably available less harmful alternative sites to provide the necessary telecommunications coverage in the constrained search area outweighed the moderate harm to character and appearance.
