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 would be outweighed by the need for the installation to be sited as proposed considering any suitable alternatives

What decided it

The siting and appearance of the telecommunications installation would have no harmful effect on the character or appearance of the area and would not undermine regeneration aspirations.

Plan policies cited: DM1, SP1, DC17, E3.3, CC4

What an account adds

Draw a red line around your site and the appraisal follows.

Heritage. Listed buildings by grade and distance, conservation areas, scheduled monuments, registered parks and gardens, heritage at risk.
Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.
