Why it was refused

  1. The proposed telecommunications mast would, by virtue of its size, siting and design, appear as a prominent and incongruous feature within the street scene which would harm the character and appearance of the area and have a detrimental effect on outlook from nearby residential properties. As such the proposal would be contrary to Policy PG3 of the Birmingham Development Plan, Policy DM16 of the Development Management in Birmingham Development Plan Document, the Birmingham Design Guide SPD and the National Planning Policy Framework.

From the council's decision notice.
