Area of Footpath, Park Royal, Ealing, Greater London, NW10 7RJ
Planning appeal 3323344 at Area of Footpath, Park Royal, Ealing, Greater London, NW10 7RJ (London Borough of Ealing) was dismissed on 19 April 2024 by Inspector Williams K, by written representations. The main issue, as the Inspector framed it: The effect of the siting and appearance of the development on the character and appearance of the area, nearby Metropolitan Open Land and whether it would preserve the setting of the nearby Grade II Listed Buildings 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.
