The “proposed development would fail to preserve the setting of the Grade I listed Blackpool Tower'
A telecoms giant has lost its fight to install a 15 metre high mast in Blackpool’s holiday area after a planning inspector labelled the proposal ‘intrusive’.
Planning inspector Helen Hockenhull said in her report she considered the proposal "would, due to its siting, design and height, form an intrusive feature". She said the “proposed development would fail to preserve the setting of the Grade I listed Blackpool Tower and other nearby statutorily and locally listed heritage assets".
Ms Hockenhull also raised concerns about the impact of the mast on the Blackpool Central scheme. She added: “The appeal site is located within these proposals and would impact on the design strategy for the redevelopment area.
