Dismissed3 November 20253367629

Grassed Verge of Lancaster Road, Denton, Manchester, M34 7JP

Planning appeal 3367629 at Grassed Verge of Lancaster Road, Denton, Manchester, M34 7JP (Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council) was dismissed on 3 November 2025 by Inspector Reed J, by written representations. The main issue, as the Inspector framed it: The effect of the siting and appearance of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area and, if any harm would occur, whether this would be outweighed by the need to site the installation in the proposed location, having regard to the availability of alternative sites.

‘The proposal comprises the installation of 20m high monopole supporting 6 no. antennas, 2 no. transmission dishes, 2 no. equipment cabinets and ancillary development thereto including Ericson Radio Systems (ERSs).’

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the siting and appearance of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area and, if any harm would occur, whether this would be outweighed by the need to site the installation in the proposed location, having regard to the availability of alternative sites

What decided it

The operational and locational needs of the operator do not outweigh the significant harm to character and appearance caused by siting the monopole in this prominent location adjacent residential properties and community open space, particularly given insufficient evidence that alternative sites were adequately considered.
