Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers
- if there is any harm, whether this is outweighed by other considerations, taking into account any suitable alternative sites
What decided it
The inadequate assessment of alternative sites, combined with identified harm to character and appearance and neighbouring living conditions, meant the public benefits of the telecommunications infrastructure could not be demonstrated to outweigh the harm.
