Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the siting and appearance of the proposed telecommunications installation on the character and appearance of the host site and surrounding area, including whether or not the proposal would prevent the holistic redevelopment of the site 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 siting and appearance of the proposed installation would not be harmful to character and appearance, and the need for the installation as a suitable alternative site supporting 5G and emergency services communications outweighs any concerns about the strategic redevelopment site.
