Great Yarmouth Borough Council

No.	Condition Text
1.	Policy INF6 of the Great Yarmouth Borough-Wide Local Plan states that the Council will only permit telecommunications developments in the form of a fixed mast where: a) no alternative site is available b) the development cannot be combined with an existing facility c) the planning benefits resulting from the development outweigh any adverse impact on the Broads Area or other landscapes. In this instance the proposed lattice mast is contrary to the criteria of the aforementioned policy in that it constitutes an unduly obtrusive feature in this predominantly rural setting close to the Broads Area and is thereby detrimental to visual amenity. Moreover the proposal to re-use a former electricity pylon on an existing base would negate the substantial environmental improvements achieved in the area following the removal of the former 132kv overhead lines throughout the area would be a retrograde and visually damaging step. Furthermore no information was put forward as to why such a tall structure was required.
