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, including the significance of a designated heritage asset; highway safety and the living conditions of the occupants of nearby properties with particular regard to outlook
  • 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 less than substantial harm to the setting of Deddington Conservation Area, to which great weight must be given, was not outweighed by the moderate benefits of improved telecommunications connectivity.
