Pressure mounts to stop antennae building
April 24, 2003
Strict planning rules governing the location of 3G transmitter masts
looks as if it could leave some regions of Scotland without access to
the new mobile services. Hutchison 3G and MmO2 claim moratoria imposed
by some Scottish councils to prevent masts being erected on their land
will result in some places, including Edinburgh, getting 3G services up
to one year later than elsewhere.
The cause of the problem is centered on the Scottish Executive’s half-hearted
decision to delegate to its 32 councils whether or not to impose bans
on siting masts on their land. The result has been, where moratoria are
already in place, masts being erected on private land near public places
and schools.
MmO2 was said to have unsuccessfully applied to erect a mast on an electricity
pylon. Because the pylon was sited on a council-owned farm, and the council
had a moratorium in place, the operator was forced to build a conventional
mast near housing on private land.
Last week, campaigners in Ladywell, south of London have won the council's
backing in their fight against two mobile phone giants who want to put
a 3G mast in a water tower near their homes. Hutchison 3G and Vodafone
want to put antennas in Ladywell Water Tower to provide 3G coverage.
In Norwich, east of England, families are fighting to prevent a 13 metre
phone mast being built by Hutchison 3G. The Norwich City Council has refused
the company to setup more 3G antennae in the district. The failure by
Hutchison to mount more antennae will mean limited 3G coverage in the
district.
In south of England, Parents and teachers are taking a stand against
Hutchison's plan to install a mobile phone mast close to a Devon.
