Appeal lodged after council rejects plans for 20m-high 5G mast in Houston

A telecoms company is continuing its fight to build a phone mast less than 100m away from an existing one in Houston after council chiefs refused its request.

CK Hutchison Networks - which operates Three - has appealed to the Scottish Government after failing to secure permission from Renfrewshire Council to erect the 20m-high 5G mast in Magnus Road.

Villagers staged a protest over the plans last year highlighting it is a highly-populated residential area and there is already a 4G mast approximately 70m away from the site in question which is considered an "eyesore".
