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 having regard to the setting of the Empress Conservation Area and non-designated heritage assets within the CA, 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 substantial public benefits arising from the provision of improved telecommunications infrastructure, particularly given the absence of viable alternative siting options, outweighed the less than substantial harm to the conservation area and limited harm to the non-designated heritage assets.
