Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area, including whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Mercers Road/Tavistock Terrace Conservation Area
- The effect of the proposed development on public safety
What decided it
The unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area setting, which substantial weight must be given to under the Framework, was not outweighed by the substantial benefits of improved telecommunications infrastructure.
The substantial benefits of telecommunications infrastructure and connectivity were outweighed by the substantial harm to the significance of the conservation area, to which considerable importance and weight must be given under Policies HE4 and HE6 of the Framework.
