New Mobile Mast application
So I chatted to Terry Smith and he's going to look into this latest application for us.
Basically the land is now council-owned (after the previous attempt at a sale was stopped) and so according to Terry the application is pretty much doomed to failure.
I say 'pretty much' because although Terry says that the Toriy councillors will reject the application out of hand the opposition may vote for it and if on the night not enough Tory councillors turn-up it could prove awkward. However Terry did say that such a manouvre would be an odd way for the opposition to win the hearts and minds of the general public so although technically feasible its unlikely.
Sadly there is nothing stopping these buggers from re-applying and the council is duty bound to issue notices to those in the vicinity of the proposed monstrosity. Unfortunately we are living in a high area which is why it's proving so popular for mobile phone masts. So it looks like we are going to have to adapt to regularly keeping an eye out for such applications and always, always notify the relevant authorities of our insistence that mobile masts must not be placed near residential areas.
For now Terry says hold-off from any further complaints, he will dig up all the information he can and get back to me over the coming week.
