Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The proposed monopole, although taller and more visible, would not be out of keeping with the varied and utilitarian local character dominated by tall buildings, DLR infrastructure and modern development, and would not adversely affect the heritage significance of the nearby pumping station.
