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 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 significant public benefits of enhanced digital communications networks, including 2G, 3G, 4G and new 5G services, outweighed the limited harm to character and appearance given the constrained nature of alternative sites and the screening provided by mature trees and surrounding industrial context.
