HUNDREDS of objections have met plans to erect a huge mobile phone mast in historic Hampstead.

The telecommunications giant Orange has applied to erect a 22-foot reception-boosting pole outside a historic wall, which once protected an ancient orchard, in Fitzjohn’s Avenue near the junction of Lyndhurst Road.

A campaign has been launched with residents, councillors, parents and schools, arguing that the mast – taller than a fully grown giraffe – will destroy the charm of the conservation area and damage children’s health.

Councillors are expected to rubber-stamp a plan to build a 12-metre tall mobile phone mast in a sedate corner of Mill End.

Telecommunications giant Orange plans to build the mast, disguised as a lamp post, in Berry Lane, adjacent to a railway bridge.

Three Rivers District Council’s development control committee, which will meet on Thursday to discuss the application, is expected to raise “no objection” – despite the concerns of residents living nearby.

...The issue came before the board at the request of Marbury Cllr Malcolm Byram (Con). Parish councillors, who were backed by Cllr Byram, conservationists and neighbours opposed the plans.

Great Budworth Parish Council said it had ‘grave concerns’ about the visual impact of raising the tower above the tree canopy.

The village Amenity Society also felt it would be intrusive.

Neighbours at Garden Cottage, 75m from the installation, said they were ‘seriously concerned’ about increased health risks and pointed out that Cransley School is within 400m.

At least a dozen residents are furious about AT&T's plans to put five antennas on the roof of the Ashland Street Cinemas, the movie theater in south Ashland.

At a community meeting the cell phone company held Thursday night at First Presbyterian Church, the residents said they're concerned that radiation from the antennas could affect their health and even cause cancer.

Urraween residents are opposed to a phone tower.

Fraser Coast Chronicle

FEARS of radiation have sparked Hervey Bay residents to fight against two mobile phone towers in their back yards.

A group of Dundowran people claim they've been left in the dark after opposing a 51.3m-tall Optus tower, proposed for a site near Carls Road, back in April.

“We've heard absolutely nothing from (the council),” Col Jones from Dundowran said.

Mr Jones was sent a letter from Fraser Coast Regional Council almost two weeks ago stating all objections had been received.

PLANS for a controversial 11.5m phone mast in Pinner allowed after a Harrow Council blunder could be shelved, and replaced with a mast more than twice its size.

Desperate council officers have been bargaining with phone company Orange to stop the phone mast being erected on a treasured patch of grass at the junction of Rayners Lane and Grove Road.

It would have been built after planning permission was accidentally granted because officers failed to notify Orange its application had been refused.
