Reason(s) for Refusal
‘1 The proposed monopole, due to its appearance and prominent siting, would represent an incongruous and overly dominant feature within the street scene which would have a detrimental impact on the visual amenity of the surrounding area. The proposal is therefore contrary to policy PG3 of the Birmingham Development Plan 2017, policy DM16 of the Development Management in Birmingham DPD 2021, the Birmingham Design Guide SPD (September 2022) and the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) 2021.
2 Insufficient evidence has been provided to demonstrate robustly that there are no potential alternative suitable sites available in less sensitive locations for the proposed the new telecommunications equipment. As such the proposal would be contrary to Policy DM16 of Development Management in Birmingham DPD 2021 and Birmingham Design Guide SPD 2022 and the National Planning Policy Framework.
