Although the above application is just outside the Parish boundary, Councillors wished to comment on this development.
Councillors were concerned that the proposal is at the Mason Arms which are currently subject to redevelopment therefore the siting of the mast may be affected by the proposed changes. Currently the signals/reception in the area is good, and therefore Councillors are unsure of the need for an additional mast. The proposed mast is to be built at ground level therefore concerns were expressed as to its effectiveness.
