Recommendation Approve Subject To Conditions 1. Proposal 1.1. Listed Building Consent is sought for the installation of 1 no. flagpole antenna and 1
no. equipment cabinet.
1.2. The flagpole antenna would be attached to the existing rear chimney breast and would project 1m above the existing roof ridge level. It would be similar in appearance to an existing antenna attached to a front chimney (approved in 2013).
1.3. The proposed equipment cabinet would be located within a basement room, adjacent to an existing cabinet. The proposed cabling would be routed internally.
1.4. Planning permission is required for the works because they are not classed as permitted development under Part 24 of The Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (Amendment)(England) Order 2001, due to the fact that they are to be installed on a Grade II Listed Building.
Site Plan Proposed West Elevation Proposed Equipment Layout
2. Site & Surroundings 2.1. The application premises comprise an early-Victorian (Circa 1825), three-storey
building with slate hipped roof. The building was originally built as a dwelling, but was used as a factory until 2000, when the building was sub-divided and the front section (No. 14A) was used as a non-residential place-of-worship (Use Class D1) under the name Jami-A-Masjid.

2.2. The building has been Grade II listed since July 1982. The external elevations are stucco and all windows are timber framed with sashes and shallow reveals. There is an elevated garden terrace to the front which has been paved. The original chimney stacks have been capped and truncated. The adjoining Church of Saints Mary and John building on Alum Rock Road is locally listed at Grade C.
2.3. To the rear of the main three-storey buildings is a large brick industrial building with open floor plan at ground floor level with internal mezzanine level offices above. This area is used for vehicle dismantling and parts storage. The surrounding area is predominantly residential in character.
2.4. Shaw Hill School and Nursery is located 75 metres to the south east. Park View School is located 150 metres to the North. Nansen Primary School is located 205 metres to the North.

Phone Infrastructure SPD (2008), Grade II Listed. 6. Planning Considerations
Page 3 of 5
6.1. The main considerations in the determination of this application are the impact of the proposal on the character of the Listed Building and whether the proposal is in accordance with policies of the Development Plan.
6.2. Policy 3.8 of the UDP identifies the need to protect and enhance what is good in the city's environment and to improve what is less good.
6.3. Listed Buildings Policy 3.25 states that any development to a Listed Building should not adversely affect its architectural or historic character. Development should also preserve and enhance the character and appearance of the Listed Building. It is further stated that special regard will be given to the desirability of securing the retention, restoration, maintenance and continued use of the buildings of special architectural or historic interest.
6.4. My Conservation Officer has raised some concerns regarding the visual impact of the proposed flagpole antenna attached to the rear chimney of the listed building. However, antennas have been attached to the front chimney, adjoining the highway, since 2007 / 2008. The current proposal is for an antenna to be attached to the rear chimney, similar in design to that attached to the front chimney. It would be only 1m higher than the ridge of the roof. The adjoining site comprises single storey industrial premises and only limited views of the proposed antenna would be available from the public highway(s).
6.5. I consider that the impact on the visual appearance of the listed building or
surrounding area would be minimal. In addition, the cabling and equipment cabinet would be sitted internally within the building. The works would furthermore secure the continued use of the building, in accordance with policies of the Development Plan.
6.6. There are no archaeological implications for the works.
7. Conclusion 7.1. The proposal complies with the objectives of the policy context as set out above and
is recommended for approval subject to the attached conditions. 8. Recommendation 8.1. That Listed Building Consent be approved subject to conditions. 1 Requires the scheme to be in accordance with the listed approved plans
2 Requires any damage to the listed building to be made good
3 Limits the approval to 3 years (conservation/listed buildings consent) Case Officer: Tony White
