DISMANTLE phone mast, firm told
COUNCILLORS have turned down a retrospective planning application for a temporary mobile phone mast near homes and schools.
The 15-metre structure was put up by Hutchison 3G in Aberystwyth, without permission, in June.
The company will now have to dismantle the mast, although it can appeal against the decision.
Local schools claimed they had not been informed about the development.
But Hutchison 3G said the mast has not been switched on and any emissions would be "minute".
County councillor Paul James said he was "delighted" with the planning committee's decision.
