            Resolved – (1) That Prior Approval be required and refused in respect of Application S/16/0012 for the following reason:

1. The proposed telecommunication installation by reason of its height and appearance as viewed in context to its siting within a high density and formally laid out residential area will have an adverse impact upon the character, appearance and wider enjoyment of the area by forming a prominent and intrusive addition to the streetscene. Furthermore, the amenities of nearby neighbouring dwellings would be unacceptably harmed by the proximity of the development which cannot be outweighed by the public benefit the infrastructure would otherwise bring to the wider community. As such the proposal is an unacceptable form of development in terms of its siting and appearance contrary to the material considerations of National Planning Policy Framework (2012) and policies IN3 and DE1 of the Swindon Borough Local Plan 2016 (2105).
