The permitted development legislation for telecoms installations is quite complex https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2015/596/schedul..., but for a mast under 25m the LPA needs to show that the application does not comply with permitted development requirements.
Planning in Hereford is controlled by the County Council and applications and decisions can be found here https://www.herefordshire.gov.uk/info/200142/plannin...
The Bath Road application was refused because the land is protected as it affects a Scheduled Ancient Monument. An appeal was rejected so the Council's decision was sound. https://www.herefordshire.gov.uk/info/200142/plannin...
The Roman Road application looks on the surface more contestable so it will be interesting to see whether it is appealed. https://www.herefordshire.gov.uk/info/200142/plannin...

20 metres, that is pretty tall to be honest, thearticle here is for the one by the police station, but there is something about the one on Roman road which was the one was on about.

The reason given for the refusal of the one by the police station in that it is near a section of the city wall, a scheduled ancient monument is a load of bull after all they built the monstrous police station there, that is more noticeable than a mast.

The police station might well have been built 50 years ago. That does not mean you want to further degrade the built environment with a 20m high mast in 2023. Basically, any mobile company putting in planning permission for a mast next to a scheduled ancient monument is [removed by TBB] if they think it will get approved.

I remember when they built the monstrosity of the police station, and now they want to build another one, If they really cared about this ancient monument then they would not have allowed Tesco all those years ago to build a store that covers the wall at the top, this link for google maps,show the back of Tescos, have look at the Windows and you will see how they have covered the wall, the wall is still at the top, just sandwich in the building. How did they get permission for that?
People wonder why I don't trust politicians, in fact I trust very few people

Where you see Debenhams, that was a total white elephant, used to be our Cattle market, the land was sold for pittance and yet £10 million was spent from our council tax to move the cattle market and what good does it do us? This shopping centre took a load of the shops out of the city centre, even after we were told it would not happen. A load of restaurants opened there, I called them glorified fast food places a lot have closed now, but there is a local Burger place that seems to be doing ok if you can afford to pay a tenner for a basic burger, they may be nice, but a tenner for a burger?

The only kind of good thing there is the cinema, but Ii doubt it would have opened there if it did not have cheap rent for the first few years. IO do think it is too big for the city and sadly it is an Odeon, I have been there 4 times since it opened.
Sorry but selling that land for pittance was a disgrace and the public having to pay for the cattle market to be moved was another disgrace, again, people wonder why I think companies, politicians and organisations can't be trusted.

I have removed a part of your post as it contains masked bad language.
If you need to mask it then it's not something you should be posting.

We usually remove entire posts, but given your good record on the forum I haven't done that, but appreciate if you could bear in mind on future posts
