CK Hutchison, the company that owns the Three mobile network, appealed against the council’s refusal for its plan to install a 5G mast in Caversham – and lost.
The 15-metre-tall mast would have stood at the junction of Henley Road and Cromwell Road – and be three times the size of nearby houses.
The project was refused in April last year, and CK Hutchison appealed last November. This was also dismissed.
A planning inspector wrote: “The proposed mast would be an obtrusive structure within the street scene that would tower above all other structures and would harm the spacious and verdant character of the area.”
To view the application, log on to Reading Borough Council’s planning website, and search for reference 230158.
