Double mobile phone mast success
25 January 2007
APPLICATIONS for two new mobile phone masts were snubbed by councillors at a planning meeting.
O2 (UK) Ltd felt were turned down by members of the Development Control Board, who refused both their plans to fix controversial communication poles and boxes in two separate spots.
Both were 12.5 metre-high poles complete with three antennas and an equipment box.
The first was destined for the junction of Bennett's Castle Lane and Wood Lane in Dagenham - 140 metres from St Teresa Primary School.
Resident's objections coupled with the board's refusal blew the application out of the water, as recommended by planning officer Hugo Marchant.
His report to the board claimed O2 submitted no evidence to show a mast was needed at the location.
It further showed the company had not looked into the possibility of sharing a site with an existing mast - of which there are four in the area - something they are encouraged to do.
The second proposal, dealt with at the same meeting on Wednesday, January 17, hoped to place a mast on the Heathway junction with Connor Road, Dagenham.
Members refused this, in line with a report by Development Control officer Matthew Gallagher, which claimed the proposed pole would be an eyesore and detrimental to residents view from houses in the area.
O2 can appeal the decision.

Phone mast on top of the church?
25 January 2007
WEDMORE residents could soon have a clearer mobile phone signal in the village, with a little help from God's house.
Mobile phone giant T-Mobile has written to residents about plans to build a telecommunication mast on top of St Mary's Church in Church Street.
The company wrote to district councillors Jessica Healey and Diana Bayliss. Cllr Healey presented the letter to the parish council on Wednesday.
Some councillors raised concerns about how the mast would look while others were supportive saying it would improve the mobile signal reception in the area, which everyone agreed was poor.
Keeper of the cloth at the church, Michael Gelder, said: "The mast would replace the town flag pole so I imagine it would be similar in appearance.
"I believe they have written to churches in Axbridge and Cheddar as well, because those buildings are usually the tallest in the village. We will be discussing it at the next church meeting."
T-Mobile has written to several other landowners including Isle of Wedmore Golf Club, NatWest Bank, Brick House Farm and Wedmore Scout Hut.

Phone mast plans ditched
By Laura Thorpe
A PROPOSAL for a 50-foot mobile phone mast near a church on Wellington's Blackdown Trading Estate has been ditched.
Plans for the 'base station' with mast and antennae at the back of the King's Church centre were submitted to Taunton Deane Council by planning consultants White Young Green, on behalf of telecommunication giants 3G, and approved in principle by Wellington Town Council.
But by the time the application reached Wellington town councillors, plans to push ahead with the scheme had been ditched and the church pulled out after 3G failed to finalist a contract.
Wellington town and county councillor Andrew Govier, told the Gazette: "The application was agreed in principle by the town council, providing it was moved but the last I knew was that the phone company had pulled out of the agreement.
"The town council was happy with what was said but there was all sorts of confusion."

Families in phone mast plea
Villagers are pleading with a mobile phone company to share an existing mast - rather than erect a new one near their homes and a school in the area.
Angry residents at Areley Kings, near Stourport, believe it would be possible for 02 to use an existing mast instead of erecting a 45ft high monopole on a verge in Pearl Lane.
They have already organised a protest meeting at the village hall at 8pm tonight to discuss the issue.
But today Chris Ashmore, one of the villagers, said: “There is a Vodafone mast already erected on Tudor Grange further down.
