PLANS to build a mobile phone mast in Northwood have been turned down, after more than 50 residents objected to the scheme.
Councillors unanimously rejected an application by Vodafone and 02 Orange to install a 13.8m telecommunications pole on a foot way close by to Autocentre Northwood, a used car dealership in Pinner Road, on Tuesday (15) night.
Petitioners complained the phone mast would be detrimental to public health as well as being an eyesore.
They also said the pole could distract drivers and may pose a danger to pedestrians who may need to walk in the road to avoid the mast and cabinets.
Owner of the car dealership, Jason Cohen, told the Gazette he was delighted with the decision.
"The mast and equipment would have been directly in front of our fencing where cars are displayed, so the rejection is great news from a business point of view, as well as health-wise."

Keep Your Children Safe
In April 2010, four international experts in cell biology, biophysics, neurology and public health, informed Canada's "Standing Committee on Health" that electro magnetic radiation is hazardous to our health and to the environment. Two months later three of the four experts had lost their research grants. The fourth had retired. For info find "support Prof. Olle Johansson" on Facebook.
Closer to home, electrical engineer Curtis Bennett, also testified on the House of Commons' Standing Committee on Health regarding wifi safety, and pointed out an omission in
Safety Code 6 (Radio frequency Exposure Guidelines) which Health Canada has not addressed and is, by all appearances, sitting on.
This omission, if investigated and acknowledged, would render wifi illegal according to page 9 of the Code.
mounting evidence that wifi cause severe environmental and health effects, despite the fact that developing children are particularly vulnerable to radiation, despite the fact that France and Switzerland are pulling wifi out of schools, our own schools are putting it in.
Curtis Bennet posits that using wifi in schools when there are safe alternatives such as hard wiring, is equal to waging war against children.
This position is being supported by Barrie Trower, a retired British physicist who was a microwave weapons expert and who worked for the Royal Navy and the British Secret Service. Mr. Trower has now come out of retirement because he is concerned that the microwave frequencies and intensities to which children are exposed in schools are similar to those used for microwave weapons.
Trower says of cell phones and wifi : "the industry has picked the worst possible part of the electromagnetic spectrum to give to young children and to adults".
Curtis Bennett will be at WonderCafe in Lumby on Friday April 1st, and at Schubert Centre in Vernon on April 14th, to explain what you can do to keep your children safe from harmful radiation. He
invites any and all to challenge him on the science of the issue as well as on the sheer ethics of exposing children to this highly hazardous technology.
