A MOBILE phone mast on a Warrington traffic island is to be allowed to “grow” two and-a-half meters taller!
Planning bosses have approved an application by Telefonica O2 for permission replace the 12.5 meter mast with a higher one.
The mast is located on a roundabout at the junction of Capesthorne Road and Poplars Avenue, Orford.
It will serve two operators – O2 and Vodaphone – and will improve network coverage and reduce the need for another mast in the vicinity.
Officers said that overall, the mast would not seriously harm the street scene.
It would allow shared coverage of the required area with existing masts at Winwick Quay, following the de-commissioning of an existing mast at St Stephen’s Church, Sandy Lane, Orford.
No objections were received to the proposal.
