Why it was refused

  1. The proposal includes the installation of electronic communications apparatus in the form of a GPS node at a height of approximately 37m. As such, the proposal would fail to comply with part A.1(3) of Schedule 2, Part 16, Class A of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended). Prior approval is therefore refused. Reason for Refusal 2 The proposed development, by reason of the insufficient detail provided within minimal elevations included within the supporting documentation, the Local Planning Authority cannot be satisfied that the proposal represents the least visually intrusive solution and would have an acceptable impact on the Shrewsbury Park Conservation Area and adjoining Grade II Listed Building. The proposal is therefore contrary to Section 72 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990, Chapters 12 and 16 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2024), Policies D3, D8 and HC1 of the London Plan (2021), and Policies DH1, DH3, DH(h) and DH(i) of the Royal Greenwich Local Plan (2014), and fails to comply with Schedule 2, Part 16, Class A of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended). Prior approval is therefore required and is refused.

From the council's decision notice.
