Sea Mills Square – New 5G Mast Planning Application Submission: Deadline for Objections: 17th October
Please see below from Mary Milton of the Sea Mills 100 Project:
I’m sorry to say that a planning application has again been submitted for a 15 metre 5G mast on Sea Mills Square just months after a very similar proposal was declined by the Planning Inspector on appeal.
In 2021, Bristol City Council planners rejected plans for 5G mast and large cabinets on Sea Mills Square. The decision went to appeal with the Planning Inspectorate in Feb 2022 where the mast was also rejected.
CK Hutchinson Networks UK Limited have now submitted another very similar planning application for the square. This is for a 15 metre mast, it’s the same height as the one ultimately rejected by the planning inspector (even though Hutchinson claim it’s shorter), but it is slightly slimmer.
Last time hundreds of people objected to the proposed mast which helped to get the idea rejected. To object this time comments should be received by 17 October 2022, but if you are reading this after the date it’s still worth following the link to see if comments are still open.
Comment on the application here https://pa.bristol.gov.uk/online…/applicationDetails.do… or you can email development.management@bristol.gov.uk or write to Development Management, City Hall, Bristol City Council, PO Box 3399, Bristol, BS1 9NE
For further information you can also read the previous rejection reports by Bristol City Council: https://pa.bristol.gov.uk/…/21_02990_Y-OFFICER_REPORT… and the planning inspector https://pa.bristol.gov.uk/…/21_02990_Y-APPEAL_DISMISSED…
We will also be preparing some guidance for those who would like to object but are not sure what to say. The main objection is the visual appearance of this mast in an important part of the conservation area.
