Telco company to appeal Cork council ruling on phone mast at Cobh GAA grounds
Planners said guidelines issued to local authorities on telecommunications antennae state that free-standing masts should only be located in a residential area as a last resort if alternative sites are unavailable or unsuitable. File picture: Dan Linehan
A telecommunications firm is challenging a ruling of Cork County Council that a GAA club in Cobh is not a suitable site for a large new phone mast because of its proximity to houses.
Shared Access has lodged an appeal with An Bord Pleanála against the council’s decision to refuse planning permission for a combined 24m-high floodlight and telecommunications structure at the home of Cobh GAA Club at Páirc Uí Cheallaigh.
