A giant mobile phone mast could be torn down because it is a blot on the landscape.
The 30-metre mast was erected on land off Taverham Lane, Costessey, in April last year by telecoms firm T Mobile to replace a nearby mast which was taken down to make way for new homes.
Under a Town and Country Planning Order, the structure was initially allowed without planning permission for a six-month period while a new mast site was found, but after more than a year T Mobile chiefs are now seeking permission to retain the mast for a further year while a permanent replacement is built.
But the proposal, set to go before South Norfolk Council's North West Area Planning Committee on Monday, is being recommended for refusal on grounds that it would detract from the character of the area and would require new road access which could pose a hazard.
