Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the siting and appearance of the proposed streetworks column upon the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The cumulative visual impact of the proposed streetworks column with the extant permission on the opposite side of the road would result in unacceptable harm to character and appearance that cannot be outweighed by the telecommunications benefits, as the existing permission could deliver the same coverage.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy UD1Policy STP4
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 117
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
