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, with particular reference to the setting of the Fulwood Conservation Area, and whether any harm caused is outweighed by the need for the installation to be sited as proposed, taking into account any suitable alternatives
What decided it
The failure to demonstrate that alternative sites had been adequately explored and assessed meant that the public benefits of improved telecommunications could not be shown to outweigh the less than substantial harm to the conservation area's significance, to which great weight must be attributed.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- BE14H14CS74
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 119Paragraph 122Paragraph 215
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
