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 setting of the Woodthorpe Hall and Fanshaw Gate Conservation Area and the setting of the Grade II Listed Woodthorpe Hall, 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 unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area and the setting of the conservation area and listed building was not outweighed by the public benefits of telecommunications infrastructure, particularly given insufficient evidence that suitable alternative sites had been robustly considered.
