THEY ARE TRYING YET AGAIN. YEAR AFTER YEAR. !!!!

THEY ARE TRYING YET AGAIN. YEAR AFTER YEAR. !!!!

LOOK WHO'S BACK

It looks like they are back again… lots of people measuring up opposite the original area now rather than the Church Inn car park. When I asked why they said they were considering options for a new site for a phone mast. This in fact would be worse as this time we can actually see it, but I guess they are being clever as it probably is just outside the conservation area by a matter of feet.

But the fear of perceived health risks is in fact greater. This location would reduce the turning circle for the residents and still not be in keeping with the historical building/area.

I will keep you informed as and when I get a letter re application/planning…

Please keep an eye out in the papers for an planning application....

Michael,
I do not have a problem in you posting my comments on your blog. It might be useful for readers if you included your message as context for my comments in reply?
All the best.

Stuart Bodsworth
Councillor Cheadle Hulme South

Cllr, Yes, I was present at the meeting at Bramhall for a 'dry run' for the possibility of the Church Inn telephone mast coming back as planning permission item.... It was especially very useful to hear your comment on "the public perception, the fear, of possible health implications and the consequent impact on quality of life"... it certainly got Karen Clark asking for precise reasons of refusal on the night in light of possible further appeal...

I'm working with Lenny Grice albeit that we are 'on hold' at the moment... further I was very pleased with the councils statement re conservation area as another reason and especially the statement that the committee/chair will always refuse masts on conservation land...
I look forward to our discussions on further appeal re Church Inn mast...

I will also add all your comments in full to the blog, http://say-no-to-mobile-mast-church-inn.blogspot.com/ , if that still ok with you? Please advise..
Thank you for all your time on this matter... regards Michael....

Subject: RE: Church Inn Mast Cheadle Hulme

Dear Michael,
As you will no doubt be aware, planning is a quasi judicial process and therefore has to be dealt with very carefully. If any application was refused without reasons founded in planning law and guidance, that refusal would undoubtedly be overturned at appeal.
So until and unless the Government change their guidance on mast applications, using health implications as a formal reason for refusal is asking for trouble.
However, the public perception, the fear, of possible health implications and the consequent impact on quality of life has successfully been used as a reason for refusal of mast applications. In fact I used that as one of the central reasons for refusing the recent application for a mobile phone mast on the BT building on Bramhall Lane South, outside Pownall Green School.

Latest Comments from Stuart Bodsworth Councillor Cheadle Hulme South

Dear Michael,
Thank you for contacting me about this, I have been following this application and was aware of the development.
I would be very surprised if this application is not resubmitted or one very similar.
As you probably know the last Conservative Government gave the mobile providers permitted development rights for masts of 15 meters and under. The current government, despite their blizzard of legislation, have left this "head start" for the telecoms companies in place.
The operators are very fond of their permitted development rights. They may well be researching a site in the area that would allow them to make a permitted development application. But, generally they do not just go away. They know that there will be diminishing returns in the public objections every time they try again, however, rest assured that I will always be happy to refer the Area Committee back to previous petitions as a reminder of the depth of public feeling.

Application HAS BEEN WITHDRAWN Please do NOT attend the meeting BUT lets get organised for Round 2 which is expected...

PLEASE DO NOT ATTEND THE MEETING
I have just received a phone call, (29/11/06 10:55am), informing me that this application has been withdrawn as the applicant has to resubmit the application as a planning permission application not a prior notice application because of the Conservation boundaries..

PLEASE DO NOT ATTEND THE MEETING as this will not now be on the agenda.

We seriously have to keep an eye on this as if there is another application for this site some people may feel it’s not worth it again to stop it a second time...

THANK YOU for your support hundreds of letter were received at the council in addition to the many many hundreds of signatures. We will do even better I'm sure on ANY attempt for a second application will be blocked with greater numbers….

We all must be vigilant to spot it and I can guarantee now that we know how strong people are known to be against this we will DOUBLE our efforts if there is a new application..... PLEASE pass on this information to you contacts so they don't travel to the County Hotel on the night.

The local community news from the Conservatives for Bramhall, Woodford and South Cheadle Hulme area has included an article saying they have arranged for the application to be considered at the committee meeting 7th December 2006. This will ensure that it is discussed in the meeting rather than being automatically 'rubber stamped' to go ahead....

Hygarth House,

Stockport.
SK1 3TT

Dear Sir,

SITE: Car park between Governors House Public House and 1 Ack Lane West.
Cheadle Hulme, Cheshire.
(Amended site description)
DESCRIPTION: Prior notification of installation of 15 metre high replica
telegraph pole mast accommodating 3 number antennas within cylindrical shroud together with radio equipment housing.
APPLICATION NO: DC024578.

The undersigned object to the above planning application.

The proposed development is entirely inappropriate in that it is not in accordance with the Unitary Development Plan. It is within a conservation area. It affects the setting of a listed building and a building of particular local architectural merit. It will be visually intrusive. It will affect the character of the surrounding area and it will affect the residential amenity of the occupiers of nearby dwellings.

I trust that you will take these objections into consideration when determining the application and request that you recommend that planning permission be refused.

Yours faithfully,
