Phone mast victory for Chiltern Drive

admin: August 2, 2005 - 12:41pm

After months of resident protests, Hutchinson 3G have decided not to go ahead their plans to erect a mobile phone mast in Berrylands.

However, Raeburn Avenue residents were not so lucky, as it appears the proposed mast now has the go-ahead and will soon be erected.

The Hutchinson 3G statement follows:

"Following our comprehensive pre application consultation procedure you are obviously aware that Hutchison 3G were looking at a proposal on the Chiltern Drive in Berrylands in Surbiton. We have looked at many options both technical and geographical to find a solution to this very difficult area for us.

I have received many letters, emails and telephone calls regarding this proposal which has obviously raised concern. As we stated this was only a pre application consultation process and we had not applied for planning permission, despite the rumour mill to the contrary.

Our current position is that we are not going to proceed with this site at this time. We still have a requirement for coverage in this area and will need to look at a solution sometime in the future. We have decided to place all progress on hold."
