A pressure group determined to block the construction of a 17.3 metre high mobile phone mast in Whitstable will meet planners at a site meeting tomorrow.

Due to government regulations which state that decisions on masts must be made within 56 days, a final decision must be made at the meeting which will determine whether the mast is built or not.

Campaigners are concerned that the Vodaphone mast, which is proposed to be installed on land off Molehill Road in Chestfield, could pose a health risk to those living nearby, and argue Vodaphone has not followed best practice by failing to consult residents in nearby streets.

A DECISION on the controversial plan to place a mobile phone mast just metres from a Ripon primary school has been made.

Planners at Harrogate Council rejected Vodafone's proposal for a mast 60 metres from Greystone Primary School on aesthetic grounds.

In a statement, the council said the proposed 47ft mast would "unreasonably detract" from the residential amenity of nearby houses due to its design, height and location.

Residents of Tema Community 8 near the P road residential area have called on the Tema Metropolitan Assembly (TMA) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to restrain a mobile telecommunications company from installing a communications mast over their houses because of the health hazards and dangers the masts will pose to them.

In a petition copied to the TMA and the EPA the residents entreated the regulatory bodies to come to their aid to save them from any future health problems.

According to them, reports obtained from scientific research indicate that such erected phone masts and towers are sources of harmful radioactive and electromagnetic emissions, which are harmful to individuals and communities who live near them.
