Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the siting and appearance of the proposed installation upon the character and appearance of the area, and whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Wandsworth Common Conservation Area
  • the effect of the siting and appearance of the proposed installation upon the safety of highway users, particularly drivers and pedestrians
  • 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 applicant failed to provide clear and convincing justification for the proposed siting when suitable alternatives, including site sharing with existing nearby mast installations, had not been adequately explored or ruled out.
