A CONTROVERSIAL application for a phone mast next to people’s homes in Whickham has been given the go ahead by Gateshead Council’s planning committee.
The application by O2 for the mast next to Burnthouse Lane, overlooking Harewood Close and Dykenook Close was agreed on Wednesday 3rd May.
The application had been opposed by local Lib Dem Councillor Marilynn Ord.
“We felt it was too close to people’s homes and there was a suitable alternative site available,” said Marilynn. “So I was disappointed the application was given the go ahead.”
