Councillors have rejected plans for a “horrible eyesore” 5G mast in the north of Newcastle.
Proposals to erect a 15m tall telecommunications pole in Brunton Park were thrown out by city decision-makers this week. It is the third time CK Hutchison Networks have failed in their bid to install a mast at the corner of Greenfield Road and Princes Road, next to St Aidan’s Church and community centre.
More than 30 locals had objected to the plans, as had North Gosforth Parish Council, with opponents branding the pillar “ugly” and in a “totally unsuitable location”. Newcastle City Council’s planning committee unanimously rejected the application at a meeting on Tuesday morning.
