Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the siting and appearance of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, including whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Hampstead Conservation Area, its effect on the setting of the adjacent Grade II listed 'Boundary Wall, Piers and Southern Gate, Heath Street', 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 applicant failed to provide sufficiently clear and persuasive evidence that the appeal site represented the only viable option, and therefore the less than substantial harm to the conservation area was not outweighed by the public benefits of improved telecommunications coverage.
