Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Appeal A: the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The unacceptable harmful effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, which would not be outweighed by the modest telecommunications and public benefits offered.

the substantial weight afforded to the benefits of improving telecommunications infrastructure and the various public benefits put forward by the appellant were insufficient to outweigh the harm identified to the character and appearance of the area
