Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the local area bearing in mind the special attention that should be paid to the desirability of preserving the setting of the Grade II listed building, New Cross Fire Station, and the extent to which it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Telegraph Hill Conservation Area, and if any harm would occur, whether this is outweighed by any public benefits of the proposed development
What decided it
The harm to the setting of the listed building and the character and appearance of the conservation area, although less than substantial, was not outweighed by the public benefits of improved telecommunications coverage.
