Plans to fit mobile phone equipment on the BT building in Bury St Edmunds are once again up for discussion.

Two previous applications were thrown out by local planners and appeal inspectors in 2002 and 2004 – including one plan for an aerial disguised as a flag-pole – after residents voiced strong opposition.

Now, Vodafone hopes to install two camouflaged wall aerials and another on the roof disguised as a small chimney, on the redundant Whiting Street building.

St Edmundsbury borough councillor Paul Farmer, who campaigned against the last application, said he predicted further local opposition.

"Quite apart from the usual safety and visual concerns, any installation which extends the life of this building is a setback for those who wish to see it replaced with more appropriate residential development," said Cllr Farmer.

"Vodafone may not be the only company interested. Once one aerial is allowed, how many more will follow?

"I shall be passing on these concerns to the agent and will certainly support the views of residents when this becomes a planning application."

Mike Ames, borough councillor for Abbeygate Ward, was also against the previous applications.

"Although they have altered the design from the previous application, the basic principle of objection still stands," said Cllr Ames.

"I don't think this is a suitable building or site. It is in the St Edmundsbury Borough Council plans as a suitable site for domestic purposes – in other words it is a brownfield site designated for residential use. If you allow anything to be put on there it jeopardises the policy St Edmundsbury Borough Council planners have got."

Vodafone agent National Grid Wireless is consulting local people before submitting a formal planning request.

Residents have criticised Warwick District Council for posting a planning notice for a 15m phone mast out of site from the public. Posters about the application by Vodafone have been placed on the gates of an electricity station in Scott Road, Kenilworth, where the mast could be built. This site can be accessed by a service road but residents believe it is too far away from the main street for them to spot easily. People living close to the site are now protesting about the application and say they have been given less time to make an objection to the plans which could go to a committee early next month. Clinton Primary School in Caesar Road has also objected. The mast and equipment cabin would back onto gardens in Oaks Road and could be seen by residents in The Mews.

Mel Elkington, of Rounds Hill, has children who attend Clinton Primary School. She said: "I am appalled at the notice which has been given. It should be where everybody can see it. I am extremely angry and worried about the plans. We do not yet know about the health issues."

Joe Rukin, of Caesar Road, added: "Where we live, we would expect to have adverse health effects, according to some reports - but we have had no notification on this. It is also close to two schools."

Debbie Flowers, of The Mews, will be able to see the mast from her house. She said: "I don't think this kind of mast should be put up in a built-up area. There are loads of sites where it can go and I don't want to see it from my bedroom window. "We have to look out for our children. There are enough horrible things in the world - we don't want another." Mrs Flowers said she only found out about the plans while she was talking to a neighbour.

Clinton Primary deputy head Sam Pater said: "We support the parents' concerns and would ask that the mast is re-sited away from a residential area." But Warwick District Council head of development control John Edwards said: "It was not easy to find a place for the site notice where it would stand out. But it has not prevented people from responding. Over all, we do feel that there was a reasonable level of publicity."

Vodafone spokesman Jane Frapwell said there are no regulations about where a mast can go. She added: "If there is a choice in a residential area where we can minimise the visual effect, we take it. But we cannot stop it completely because then there would not be mobile phone service in the area. Nine per cent of households rely on a mobile phone at home, so we have to provide this service."

Families are being encouraged to show their support for a campaign to stop a mobile phone mast being put up in a city street just yards from homes.

Telecommunications giant Vodafone has submitted plans with Norwich City Council for a 10 metre timber pole in the prestigious Newmarket Road area.

But Chris Hull, a Green party county councillor for Town Close ward, has written to people living near to the Newmarket Road Surgery, close to where the mast is set to be installed, to get their support in opposing the mast.

"This particular mast has a total height of 12 metres with antenna," he said. "The ground equipment is sited on a public highway and it is in a predominantly residential conservation area.

"I therefore believe it is not a suitable location for such an installation and any residents who are concerned about the application could make similar points to these to the council.

"Unlike concerns about health impacts on masts, current legislation does allow councils to take into account the visual impact of masts and any infringement onto public highway."

Earlier this month the Evening News reported how people living in the area were concerned about the proposal.

"I don't consider that a residential area such as this is a suitable area for a phone mast," said James Lord, 75, who lives off Newmarket Road in nearby Glenalmond.

"I wouldn't welcome anything that requires a large magnetic field which is what microwaves are."

The Evening News has campaigned against the installation of mobile phone masts near homes and schools until it is proved they are safe.

Dr Ian Gibson Norwich North MP and long time supporter of our campaign appealed to Vodafone to take the wishes of people who live near the mast into account before making these proposals and urged them to get in touch with him.

In April 1997 the Evening News reported how people living in the Newmarket Road area were furious over plans for a 25-metre telephone mast which they said would lower the value of their homes.

Cambridge-based Ionica has lodged an application with the city council to build the mast just off Newmarket Road.

But homeowners near the site at the Civil Service sports ground at Wentworth Green wrote to council planners urging them to block the scheme.

A spokeswoman for Vodafone said the latest mast complied with safety guidelines which have been put in place to protect everyone whether people lived near to the mast or not.

"It will be improving voice and text services but also bringing new services to local people," she said.
