Mobile mast plan to receive clear 'no' signal
A PROPOSED mobile phone mast in Blackburn is set to be refused planning permission on the grounds it could affect local amenities.
The 11.7-metre high telecommunications mast, with associated equipment cabins, is planned for Ash Grove in Blackburn, West Lothian.
But the council's planning officials have recommended T-Mobile be refused permission to build the pole, as it could affect local community facilities.
The proposed site of the mobile phone mast is near the library, health centre and community centre, which the council considers to be sensitive buildings, and officials have stated the mast could have "an unacceptable adverse impact" on the buildings. Officials have also stated that they do not consider the site to be the best option for the company in terms of providing coverage for the area.
There have been no objections to the mast, but it is expected the council will refuse planning permission when they meet tomorrow.
