As I understand it..... it seems that within reason the mobile phone operators can put one of these masts where ever they like and there is very little that anyone can do to stop it happening. The planning office have their hands tied it seems by the law.
So much for the big society and localism!
We have identified a number of alternative sites and I will send a letter to the mobile phone companies and the planning office stating that while the majority of members do not object in principle to a mast to solve the problem of poor coverage on the estate we think that there are more suitable locations than the very attractive main entrance to the estate.
The diagram below indicates other possible locations.
1. The other side of the road next to the pedestrian crossing cabinet.
2. The other side of Kingstown road - I think this is unlikely to work due to the residential properties there.
3. The corner of the tarmac area at the end of Kershope road.
4. The corner of the rough land at the back of the Moorville Drive playing field.
If you have any thoughts about any of these please let me know.
I think the location number 1 is the best option.
