Religious leaders have rejected concerns about the health of Black Country schoolchildren to allow a mobile phone mast to be set up.
The Ancient Arches Court of Canterbury has overturned a ruling that blocked plans by Emmanuel Church, Walsall, to allow a mast to be installed in its tower.
It is believed the church will earn around £6,000 a year in rent by allowing communication companies to place masts in or on its tower. The ruling follows a near 18-month campaign by nearby schools King Charles Primary and Bentley West Primary.
Staff and parents objected on the grounds the mast could damage the health of youngsters.
The case for and against was put to the country's top ecclesiastical court at a one-day hearing in September.
The decision has just been revealed.
