View-ruining mobile mast plan rejected - council
The applicant wanted to site a 74ft (22.5m) mast on the plot of land
- Published
A 74ft (22.5m) phone mast would have caused a "substantial degree of harm" to the views in an area of Bradford, city planners have decided.
An application for the mast and associated equipment on a site off Reva Skye Road in Clayton was refused by Bradford Council after 185 objections.
The application, by communications company Cornerstone, also included 12 antennas, four dishes, cabinets, and a 7ft (2.1m) fence on the land next to a disused telephone exchange, said the Local Democracy Reporting Service.
Refusing the plans, officers said: "The monopole would not be sufficiently screened by virtue of scale and siting, would appear distinctly over dominating within its surroundings."
