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, including on the Trinity Gardens Conservation Area and the Grade II listed Haringey Civic Centre, and if any harm were to occur, whether this is outweighed by the need for the installation to be sited as proposed taking account of any suitable alternatives

What decided it

The identified less than substantial harm to the heritage assets and character and appearance of the area was not outweighed by the public benefits of improved mobile connectivity, and the proposal was not adequately justified by evidence that no suitable alternative site existed.

Framework references: 16, 199, 200, 202

What an account adds

Draw a red line around your site and the appraisal follows.

Heritage. Listed buildings by grade and distance, conservation areas, scheduled monuments, registered parks and gardens, heritage at risk.
Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.
