a proposed new 20m high Phase 8 3HG street pole and 3 associated equipment cabinets (colour GREEN-6009) to be located within the adjoining grass verge

Authority: London Borough of Hounslow
Appeal type: minor · Planning Appeal
Procedure: Written Representations
Development: telecoms · Other minor developments
Inspector: Sargent J

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposal would fail to preserve the character or appearance of the Turnham Green Conservation Area, whether it would fail to preserve the other designated heritage assets nearby, and whether it would harm the significance of any or all of these (the heritage impacts)
Whether it would adversely affect the living conditions of neighbouring residents
If any harm would be caused as a consequence of the above issues, whether it would be outweighed by public benefits

What decided it

The less than substantial harm to the significance of three designated heritage assets, including a Grade I listed Park and Garden, was not outweighed by the operational need for the telecommunications mast.

Plan policies cited: Policy CC2, Policy EC4(c), Policy CC1, Policy CC4

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.

Then the development plan position, the housing land supply as an Inspector last accepted it, and every appeal decided around the site with its letter.

Every English appeal since 2016, with the letter behind it wherever the Inspectorate published one. Searched by meaning as well as by words, with the key case law counted live across the letters.

Casework that chases the deadlines. Applications, appeals and conditions with their statutory dates.

The judgement stays yours. The tool gathers the material and dates it.
