Mobile giant loses mast bid
MOBILE phone bosses at Orange have lost their appeal for a mast in Ribbleton, Preston.
An inspector has dismissed an appeal from the company for an 11.5m high pole with antennae and equipment cabin on Pope Lane.
The inspector said the mast, which would have resembled a telegraph pole, would have affected the appearance of the area if previously-granted permission for a mast 15m away was taken up.
Originally, Preston Council turned down the application due to its effect on the local area and objections from residents.
Neighbours put together a petition and sent letters of objection in a bid to halt the plans.
