Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the siting and appearance of the proposed telecommunications installation on pedestrian accessibility and convenience
the effect of the siting and appearance of the proposed telecommunications installation on the character and appearance of the area
whether any harm would be outweighed by the need for the installation to be sited as proposed, taking into account any suitable alternatives

What decided it

The unacceptable impact on pedestrian accessibility and convenience at a well-used location with concentrated pedestrian activity, combined with insufficient evidence that the specific siting was necessary and that no less harmful alternatives existed.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: Policy T2 of the Leeds Core Strategy (Selective Review 2019)saved Policy GP5 of the Leeds Unitary Development Plan (Review 2006)Policies P10 and P12 of the Core Strategy
