Mobile mast bid rejected
Last updated 11:52, Monday, 06 April 2009
A PROPOSAL by a mobile phone company to erect a telecommunications pole on a scenic Lake District road has been rejected by planners.
Orange wanted to erect the pole on the verge of the road leading up to Kirkstone Pass.
The company applied to site a 12m pole with antenna, dish and equipment cabinets, in a gap in the existing verge along the A592 at Browhead near St Anne’s School.
They said this would allow a line of sight to other telecom installations in the area, including one at Wray Castle on the western shore of Windermere.
The application follows the proposed decommissioning of an existing installation on the roof of Elleray School, part of the St Anne’s School complex.
Head of development management David McGowan told the development control committee the school no longer wanted to host an antenna because of health considerations. The new mast would replace part of the coverage lost.
