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 of the East Canonbury Conservation Area and the grade II listed building at Annette Crescent and attached railings, 246-290 Essex Road; and whether any harm would be outweighed by the need for the installation to be sited as proposed, taking into account suitable alternatives

What decided it

The less than substantial harm to the setting of the heritage assets, to which great weight must be applied, was not outweighed by the public benefits of the proposed telecommunications installation.
