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 surrounding area and parking provision in the car park
  • Whether any harm would be outweighed by the need for the installation to be sited as proposed, taking into account any suitable alternatives

What decided it

The proposal would not harm the character and appearance of the surrounding area or the function of the car park, and the need for electronic communications infrastructure outweighs any minor adverse effects.
