Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the siting and appearance of the proposal on the living conditions of occupiers of 1 Bayswater Drive in terms of outlook
  • the effect of the siting and appearance of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, having regard to its effects on the setting and significance of the Grand Union Canal Conservation Area

What decided it

The siting and appearance of the 15m street pole would cause unacceptable harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers and the character and appearance of the area, which could not be outweighed by the telecommunications benefits already recognised through permitted development rights.
