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 surrounding area
  • the effect of the siting and appearance of the proposed installation on nearby trees
  • the effect of the siting and appearance of the proposed installation on highway safety
  • in the event any harm is identified, whether that harm would be outweighed by the need for the installation and the lack of less harmful alternative sites

What decided it

The cumulative adverse effects on character and appearance, nearby trees, and highway safety are not outweighed by the benefits of maintaining network coverage.

substantial weight is ascribed to the benefits of maintaining or improving network coverage, capacity, reliability and resilience, including access to 5G services, but these benefits do not outweigh the cumulative adverse effects in respect of the character and appearance of the area, the impact on nearby trees, and highway safety
