That's it really. The tennis club opposite me (of which I am a member) have applied for planning permission to erect a telecoms mast with Shared Access, which will pay for our proposed floodlights. Members have not been polled/surveyed or otherwise consulted (despite me asking) to see if they support it. Demographically there are more 60+ members than members with school age children though the club is actively trying to grow this membership category. Apart from this, it's a lovely friendly club and I'm very happy playing there. The club shares a fence with the primary school and my driveway is opposite the entrance.
I'm not happy about the phone mast though. There are limited criteria for objecting and if I ABR I'd be grateful for any information and references to help me/us object. I read some old threads and several of them said "government guidelines say phone masts should not be built less than 200m from a school" but couldn't see any links to these guidelines.
I'm aware that there's a chance I AM BU! I'm trying not to be a Nimby (and am failing).
FTR mobile signal coverage is very good in this area and another club member has offered to raise the £50k necessary by other means. This has been declined.
