Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the siting and appearance of the proposal upon the character or appearance of the street scene and Chislehurst Conservation Area, 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 need for the telecommunications development and the absence of any suitable alternative sites outweighed the less than substantial harm to the significance of the Chislehurst Conservation Area as a heritage asset.
