Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the compliance period for removal of the unauthorised telecommunications installation should be extended from 2 months to 8 months to allow integration into the existing mobile network at an alternative permanent site
What decided it
The compliance period of approximately 7 months from the decision date, combined with the 5 months already elapsed during the appeal suspension, provides sufficient time for the appellants to integrate the installation at the alternative permanent site and remove the unauthorised installation, making an extension unjustified.
