Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the installation on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
  • The effect on pedestrians and cyclists using Kidbrooke Park Road
  • Whether a further temporary permission is justified

What decided it

The national policy imperative to maintain advanced communications infrastructure and avoid reducing mobile connectivity in the area, combined with the identification of a potential alternative site, justified a temporary permission despite the significant visual harm.
