CK Hutchison Networks (UK) Ltd is to appeal against Lewes District Council’s refusal to grant a Prior Approval application (see LW/21/0627) for a 15m-tall 5G telecoms mast near Oaktree, on the Barcombe Mills Road. 

 The 2021 decision cited these grounds for refusal:

“By Reason of its size scale and prominence within the streetscene the proposed telecommunications equipment would have an unacceptable siting and would unduly harm the character and appearance of the Barcombe Cross Conservation
Area.”
