"Cheeky" phone company masters council planning laws
12 February 2007
A MOBILE phone company has proved perseverance pays off after it was allowed to keep at least one mast on green belt land in Hornchurch despite council and resident protest.
T Mobile, dubbed "cheeky" by one local councillor, can now keep a mast on the Cardrome site in Upper Rainham Road.
The Planning Inspectorate allowed special circumstances on January 25 to extend the life of a 24-metre mast by a further three months, despite it originally being placed in 2005 by way of temporary six-month permission. On July 14 last year the council refused T-Mobile's application for a further two year planning consent.
