The Reigate & Banstead Borough Council Planning Department has REFUSED the planning application from Cellnex UK for the proposed mast. The refusal letter gave the following grounds:

The proposed development of a 20m high lattice mast and associated works by reason of its
siting and appearance, specifically its excessive height and disproportionate scale and the
unattractive, utilitarian design in this location, alongside its proximity to nearby residential
dwellings, would be at odds with the surrounding area. Thereby, the proposed development
would represent an incongruous overly dominant installation, harmful to the character and
appearance of the area. This would be contrary to the provisions of policies DES1, OSR1 and INF3 of the Development Management Plan 2019.

We have been advised that Cellnex UK is looking into the question of an appeal and what steps it can take to make the proposal more acceptable.

Further information will be provided when available.

We announced at the Get Together the return of Kia Coulsdon as a valued club sponsor and Sam and Marion were pictured trying out the new mugs they supplied.

Their colourful banner has now been erected by our Maintenance Team (thanks guys!) at the back of the terrace at the top of the ramp and steps.
