REASONS FOR DECISION
The MPT REFUSED the application for the following reasons:

1. The site is embedded within the residential environment, in close proximity to high density forms of development.
2. The visual impact of the mast will be unacceptable in this context.
3. Detailed and comprehensive consideration must be given to alternative sites as it is clearly evident that insufficient attention has been given to viable alternative locations.
4. The proposed base station is not compatible with the surrounding land use.
5. The approval of this application would impact significantly on existing rights and is not considered to be desirable.

Conditions are not approved.
