Planning appeal decision
Hornchurch Road, London Borough of Havering, London, RM11 1PZ
Planning appeal 3288716 at Hornchurch Road, London Borough of Havering, London, RM11 1PZ (London Borough of Havering) was allowed on 11 January 2023 by Inspector Cryan M, by written representations. The main issue, as the Inspector framed it: The effect of the siting and appearance of the proposed installation on the character and appearance of the area, and the safe movement of pedestrians along the footway 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 proposed installation on the character and appearance of the area, and the safe movement of pedestrians along the footway 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 proposed installation would not cause unacceptable harm to character and appearance or safe pedestrian movement, as the footway narrowing would match the existing constraint and the mast would not appear incongruous in this urban context with substantial existing street furniture.
