®Planning appeal decision
Syon Lane Street Works, Hounslow, TW7 5PN
Planning appeal 3298923 at Syon Lane Street Works, Hounslow, TW7 5PN (London Borough of Hounslow) was allowed on 24 January 2023 by Inspector Phillips B, 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, with particular regard to whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Osterley Park 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.
Proposed 5G telecoms installation: H3G Phase 8 16m high street pole c/w wrap-around cabinet and 3 further additional equipment cabinets
