Draft Strategic Plan - Communications
Policy 4 requires balancing the need for communications infrastructure with environmental impact, presuming against visually intrusive masts and encouraging non-intrusive solutions. The officer implicitly accepted the proposal as compliant due to its small scale, chimney mounting, and colour matching, addressing prior refusal concerns about clutter on this sensitive registered building.
