Application for a prior notification for the installation of a 20m high streetworks column supporting 6 no. antennas, 2 no. 0.3m dishes and ancillary equipment, the installation of 2 no. equipment cabinets and development ancillary.

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.

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.
