Families have won their battle to prevent another mobile phone mast from being built on their doorsteps, after councillors blocked the proposal.

People living in the Earlham area of Norwich had already contested eight masts and four appeals on the basis they were an unsightly blight on the area where they live.

And this week, members of Norwich City Council's planning committee blocked a proposal by communications giant Orange to build a 12m imitation telegraph police in Earlham Green Lane.

Fourteen letters of object to the plans were sent to City Hall questioning the need for the mast, saying it would be unsightly and raising concerns about the health impact of mast emissions.

OBJECTORS to a new mobile phone mast say their fight has been won after the plans were scrapped this week.

Phone company Telefónica O2 wanted to raise a 20m transmitter on a piece of derelict land in Lyme Regis Industrial Estate to improve network coverage in the area.

Anxious residents living near the site launched a campaign to stop the move claiming it would seriously put their health at risk and create an unsightly blot on the landscape.

They also had major concerns for the wellbeing of the hundreds of Woodroffe School pupils who use the footpath just metres from the proposed site.

SIR - Scientists from Edinburgh and Oxford Universities are studying swarm behaviour.

Apparently, most swarms use their large groups to protect themselves, their own interests, unlike ants and bees which work together as a single unit and are prepared to die for the greater good of the colony.

No, I am not suggesting politicians show the same commitment!

I was reminded of these swarming instincts when I read that been colonies have suffered significant losses in the last two years.

SCHOOL leaders are celebrating victory after a controversial application for a mobile phone mast – which would sit just yards from their gates – was withdrawn.

For the past three weeks, Newquay Pre-School has campaigned against mobile phone giant Vodafone, which planned to erect a mobile mast on a floodlight at Newquay AFC'S Mount Wise Stadium.

However, after a public crusade against the plans by the school, Newquay AFC's committee withdrew their consent for Vodafone's application on the stadium, scuppering the plans.

Reacting to the news, Karen Austin, chairman of the preschool committee, said she was overjoyed.

"I am absolutely delighted that it's all over now and the school can now focus on other things," she said.

A MOBILE phone giant is considering finding a new site for an unwanted mast in Pinner after pressure from politician and residents.

A Harrow Council blunder meant Orange could build a phone mast at the junction of Grove Road and Rayners Lane, despite being denied planning permission.

However, the Harrow Times understands the company is open to the idea of finding another location for the mast following a public outcry at the consequences of the mistake.

Residents were up in arms last week after it was revealed a council officer had failed to send out the papers in time, meaning Orange had planning permission by default.
