Why it was refused

  1. The proposed lattice mast and associated infrastructure are not considered acceptable, due to the potential impact on protected trees which contribute to the character of the area and are therefore of high amenity value. No arboricultural information has been submitted demonstrating that the proposed development would not cause harm to the protected trees. Accordingly, the proposal is contrary to policy LP 54 of the BFLP and paragraph 136 of the NPPF (Dec 2024 revision). The proposal is for the installation of a new mast and associated cabinets and therefore requires prior approval. Prior approval is however refused for the reason set out above.

From the council's decision notice.
