Planning appeal decision
Jtn. Salisbury Street / Huddersfield Road, Barnsley, S75 1AH
Planning appeal 3310515 at Jtn. Salisbury Street / Huddersfield Road, Barnsley, S75 1AH (Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council) was dismissed on 10 July 2023 by Inspector Harrison F, by written representations. The main issue, as the Inspector framed it: The effect of the siting and appearance of the proposed installation on the character and appearance of the area, including the setting and significance of the Huddersfield Road Conservation Area and the nearby Grade II listed building, and 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.

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 the setting and significance of the Huddersfield Road Conservation Area and the nearby Grade II listed building, and 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 siting and appearance of the proposed monopole would cause less than substantial harm to the setting and significance of the Huddersfield Road Conservation Area and Grade II listed building which, given great weight, was not outweighed by the public benefits of improved telecommunications provision, particularly as alternative sites had not been properly explored.
