There is good news that prior approval for the 18metre mast on Elmers End Green has been refused. Of course the applicants are likely to appeal.
The company is applying for these sites in many locations – the latest one is in Penge. Others in Hayes and Copes Cope have been refused. It does seem that the new masts for 5G are extremely large and heavy and cannot be shared. So we are likely to have applications from many companies all over the area.
Thanks once again to all who wrote to object. I repeat that we are not being NIMBYs. But Urban Open Space should not be spoiled by such installations – there are other sites available and the officer’s report does say that there has not been sufficient investigation of alternatives.
