Council's decision to refuse mast welcomed
City Councillor Colette Connolly has welcomed the City Council's decision to refuse planning permission to Meteor Mobile Communications Ltd for the continuance of use of radio antennas, point-to-point radio link dishes and associated equipment at St Enda's Road.
In its judgement the council found that "the proposed development would seriously injure the amenities of the area and property in the vicinity." The site in question was on top of an apartment block, adjacent to a Montessori school and close to a creche.
Cllr Connolly is PRO of the Shantalla Residents Association. She said that she was pleased that the resident's concerns had been addressed. "Mobile phone companies must respect the residential aspect of neighbourhoods and also residents' health concerns in relation to emissions from such masts. I will urge the planning department to ensure that all the equipment will be removed immediately."
She said she was glad that the council had taken notice of Department of the Environment guidelines, although they had violated them when the original application got the green light.
