Why it was refused
- The proposed mast would be significantly taller than the surrounding street furniture and buildings and therefore would create a prominent, obtrusive and visually harmful addition to the street scene. The proposal therefore conflicts with Policy DP23 of the Mid Sussex District Plan 2014-2031 and the requirements of the National Planning Policy Framework.
From the council's decision notice.
