ANGRY residents have berated planners for a "lack of common sense" over proposals to install a mobile phone mast outside their homes in Kemsing.
Almost 30 residents attended a Kemsing Parish Council meeting to protest against the plans.
Mobile phone giant O2 wants to build a telecommunications mast, electrical control box and a surrounding fence on a grass verge outside houses in Childsbridge Road.
This came after its proposal to extend an existing mast, a few hundred metres along the road, by 2m was rejected by Sevenoaks District Council.
Stuart Robinson, of Childsbridge Lane, said: "We just all think it is a bit ridiculous, and no one wants a great big mast outside their front door.

"It is just a lack of common sense."
