The recent proposed planning application for a 5g mast in Bridle Road has been refused. This was not unexpected as a similar recent proposed location for a mast was also refused in Wickham Road. The main reason given for both cases were that the mast locations were considered ‘dominant and prominent’.
Recent local comments have been that this type of structure is dangerous because of the radiation used. The fact is that there is no mention in the refusal document of any danger to the public from the low radiation used. This confirms the views put forward by SPRA.
