Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would be permitted development, with particular regard to Paragraph A.1(2)(f)(ii) of Schedule 2, Part 16, Class A of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended) (the GPDO)
  • If the proposal is permitted development subject to prior approval, the effect of the siting and appearance of the proposed installation on the character and appearance of the area, and the significance of designated heritage assets

What decided it

The proposed antennas would exceed the maximum height limitation of 3.3 metres for building-based apparatus on conservation area land under the GPDO, and therefore do not constitute permitted development.
