Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character or appearance of the area, including the setting of a listed building.

What decided it

The less than substantial harm to the setting of the listed building caused by the visual intrusion of the mast and cabinets does not have the clear and convincing justification required by paragraph 206 of the Framework to outweigh the great weight given to the asset's conservation.
