The petition was handed in to the Council’s Planning Dept on Tuesday 19 October.

We are still hopeful that this planning application will be rejected by the Council, mainly on the grounds that it will stick out like a sore thumb.

The council needs to inform Vodafone of any decision by 10 November otherwise the application will be deemed to be approved (this is how the ‘Prior Approval’ mechanism works for new infrastructure projects).

Fingers crossed.
