Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the siting and appearance of the mast on the living conditions of the occupants of 12 Thornbridge Mews, with regard to outlook and overshadowing
What decided it
The meaningful separation distance of approximately 15 metres from the neighbouring property, combined with the positioning behind an existing commercial building and the existing street furniture and commercial context of Bolton Road, means the mast would not have an unacceptable impact on outlook and overshadowing.
