The proposal for a T-Mobile phone mast opposite 202 Dunstans Road has been defeated

As reported previously local people, parent and Governors of Goodrich School and the local FOCUS team campaigned effectively to persuade Southwark’s Planning Committee to reject the application.   As we always knew they would T-Mobile appealed against this decision.  

I am pleased to be able to report that the decision of Southwark Council to reject this mast has been upheld.   The Inspector agreed with local people and councilors that the mast would have an adverse impact on pedestrian convenience, resulting in ‘street clutter’ and would be harmful to pedestrian safety.  

This victory would not have been possible without  so many people making their voice heard – first to Southwark Council and then to the Planning Inspector.   

Well done to everyone who helped.
