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 building and the surrounding area 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 visual harm to the character and appearance of the locally listed building and surrounding area, combined with inadequate exploration of less harmful alternatives, outweighed the public benefits of the telecommunications infrastructure.
