Why it was refused

  1. - In accordance with the conditions set out in Part A, Schedule 16 of the General Permitted Development Order (2015) the proposed telecommunications equipment, by virtue of its prominent location, excessive height, width, bulky appearance and siting, would be out of keeping with the street scene and the surrounding area, and would impede on pedestrian movement contrary to policies S.DH1, D.DH2, S.TR1 and D.DH11 of the Tower Hamlets Local Plan (2020).

From the council's decision notice.
