Installation of 5G electronic communications equipment and associated ancillary developments to gas holder installations
The proposed installation of upgraded 5G telecommunications apparatus by reason of its cumulative impact and visible location would detract from the purity of the structural form which would cause visual harm to the architectural and historic significance of the Grade II listed building. Therefore the proposal is not in accordance with the NPPF (2021) Chapter 16 Conserving and enhancing the historic environment, The London Plan (March 2021) Policy HC1 Heritage, Conservation and Growth, Policies P19 Listed building and structures and Policy P21 Conservation of the historic environment and natural heritage of The Southwark Plan 2022 and Heritage SPD. 1
Insufficient information has been provided by the applicant to demonstrate that the proposals would not harm the significance of the heritage asset or that the telecommunications apparatus cannot be relocated in an alternative location as required under paragraphs 199, 200 and 202 of the NPPF. The proposal therefore is not in accordance with: NPPF 2021, Chapter 16 Conserving and enhancing the historic environment, London Plan 2021, Policy HC1 - Heritage conservation and growth, Policy P19 Listed Buildings and Structures; Policy P21 Conservation of the historic environment and natural heritage of The Southwark Plan 2022 and Heritage SPD.
