Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development fails to satisfy the matters for consideration under paragraph A.2 of Schedule 2, Part 16, Class A of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended), as the siting of the associated ground-based telecommunications equipment adjacent a public bridleway with which it would share an access would result in an unacceptable relationship with the public highway and thereby leading to conflict between highway users and harm to highway safety and public amenity. Accordingly, prior approval is refused.
  2. The proposed development fails to satisfy the matters for consideration under paragraph A.2 of Schedule 2, Part 16, Class A of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended), as the siting of the associated ground-based telecommunications equipment within the proposed open countryside setting would be located in a highly visible position atop the A45 hill which is considered to result in a visually intrusive, bulky, large and dominant structure which would be at odds with and detract from the serene and verdant open countryside setting to the detriment of the visual amenity of the area and the experience of users of the Jurassic Way ED3 bridleway. Accordingly, prior approval is refused.
