The future's bleak for mobile mast
Planning permission has been refused for the siting of a mobile phone mast near to Warners End Community Centre.
Councillors gave the thumbs down after hearing that a playgroup used the centre and there were already two other masts close by.
Ward councillor Margaret Coxage told a meeting of Dacorum Borough Council's development control committee: "We have very young children there and I believe it inappropriate that a mast is placed here."
Councillor Derek Townsend said: "I think we should say this is far too close to young children and they should look for a new site."
The meeting was told health concerns were not valid planning grounds for refusal and it was agreed the mast be rejected because of its effect on the street scene.
