Mobile phone companies denied permission to erect masts

PLANNING problems with proposed mobile phone masts in Kerry are continuing, with four further refusals in recent weeks.

It also emerged yesterday that local people are objecting to a planning application for mast near the Cork/Kerry border, with more than 250 signatures collected on a petition by objectors.

Independent FF councillor Michael Healy-Rae called for a review of the Kerry County Development Plan (CDP) to allow planners more flexibility in deciding applications for telecommunications masts.
