Planning appeal decision
Du Cane Road, Shepherd's Bush, London, W3 7DJ
Planning appeal 3288693 at Du Cane Road, Shepherd's Bush, London, W3 7DJ (London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham) was dismissed on 14 June 2022 by Inspector Owen A, by written representations. The main issue, as the Inspector framed it: The effect of the siting and appearance of the development on the character and appearance of the Old Oak and Wormholt Conservation Area and, if any harm would occur, whether this is outweighed by the need for the installation to be sited as proposed taking into account any suitable alternatives.

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the siting and appearance of the development on the character and appearance of the Old Oak and Wormholt Conservation Area and, if any harm would occur, whether this is outweighed by the need for the installation to be sited as proposed taking into account any suitable alternatives
What decided it
The appellant's failure to satisfactorily demonstrate that the development needed to be sited at this location or that other more suitable sites were unlikely to be available meant the public benefits of 5G network capacity could not outweigh the less than substantial harm to the conservation area.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- DC1DC8DC10D8HC1
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 202Paragraph 117
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
