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
  • if any harm would occur, whether this is outweighed by the need for the installation to be sited as proposed and taking into account any suitable alternatives

What decided it

The demonstrated need for the proposed installation to improve network coverage in the area, combined with the absence of any reasonably available alternative site that would better serve this need, outweighed the unacceptable harm to character and appearance and moderate harm to neighbouring outlook.

The main issues and the deciding factor are read from the published letter by Town Planner Pro; the letter itself is the record. Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Research, not advice.
