Database of UK mast refusals

Here is a selection of Mast decisions/applications across the UK showing number of rejections and outcome of the applications.

Posting objections, however brief or involved, does help inform planners and councillors of the other side of the story.

We don’t know if they are refusing with public health in the back of their minds (whilst still holding the line that incompatible use, arising for example from harm to health and environment, is not a material consideration* and so cannot overtly be given as a reason for refusal), however alot masts are refused, at least on the more subjective grounds of ‘appearance and siting’.

Our main register is here.

Joy as 5G mast removed in Coventry because it hadnt been granted Prior Approval.

Two more of the 5G Street Hubs intended for Cheltenham, have been dismissed by the planning Inspectorate at the appeals stage. So the overall status now is: 2 applications were refused planning by the council and not appealed, 4 have been dismissed at appeal, leaving 3 remaining in the appeals process – so currently we are 6 – 0 up, with 3 to play!
