[UK-CONTEST] Planning Application doomed to failure in North Lincolnshire - latest news for your amusement

[Ray James]

Hi Nick,
Doesn't look like your message sent around 2pm when you had support of 81 had any interest from readers of this reflector. I've just sent in a support message after midnight and you now have 82!

You'll love my comments!

The application should receive the full support of the local authority in view of its legal obligations regarding disater relief and the need for as many resources as possible to call upon in the provision of communications should any emergency (natural and non-natural) occur in the area. The applicants licence issued by Ofcom, provides a legal obligation for the applicants equipment to be used by emergency services on demand. The need for antenna supports of the height proposed is paramount when considering good communication coverage of this area. A number of UK systems operate on a similar basis with supports of 40m - 50m in height so the applicant has shown genuine consideration for his neighbours in applying for what he considers an adequate but lower height for the antenna supports. 


I hope that helps!
Good luck.
Ray GM4CXM
