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 having particular regard to the retention and maintenance of street trees
What decided it
The proposed development fails to demonstrate adequate protection for the stability and long-term health of the retained street trees due to encroachment within their root protection areas and the need for crown lifting, which would be materially harmful to the character and appearance of the area and outweighs the benefits of improved telecommunications coverage.
