A group residents of a street in Felpham are facing another wait for a decision over proposals to erect a 15m mast on green space close to their homes. They had understood their campaign, along with objections from the council, last year had succeeded.
Arun District Council objected to an application for “Prior approval under Schedule 2, Part 16, Class A for proposed 5G telecoms installation, H3G 15m street pole and additional equipment cabinets at Leverton Avenue, Felpham” on 1t February 2023.
The reason, they say for the objection was:
“By reason of its siting and appearance within the street scene the proposed telecommunications equipment would appear unduly obtrusive and would result in unacceptable harm upon the amenity and outlook of local residents and would be detrimental to the character and appearance of the area in conflict with TEL DM1 of the Arun Local Plan and BT7 of the Felpham Neighbourhood Development Plan.”
Following the objection an appeal has been submitted to the Planning Inspectorate by CK Hutchinson Networks (UK) Ltd.
A decision on the case is due to be made by the Planning Inspectorate later this year.
