Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the appeal proposal can benefit from prior approval
- if so, the effect of the siting and appearance of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, including the setting of the Littlemore Conservation Area
- the effect of the siting and appearance on living conditions of neighbouring residents
- if any harm is identified, whether this would be outweighed by the need for the installation in the proposed location, having regard to the potential availability of alternative sites
What decided it
The notice served on the landowner failed to include the mandatory requirement of the height of the proposed mast, thereby breaching the procedural requirements of the GPDO and preventing prior approval from being granted.
The main issues and the deciding factor are read from the published letter by Town Planner Pro; the letter itself is the record. Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Research, not advice.
