- minor · Planning Appeal
- Procedure

- Inspector
- Whitfield H
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the siting and appearance of the proposed installation on the significance of designated and non-designated heritage assets
- 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 lack of clear and persuasive evidence that the appeal site represents the only viable option, combined with less than substantial heritage harm, meant the public benefits of improved telecommunications did not outweigh the harm to the conservation area and listed buildings.
