Following the successful campaign at the end of last year against the original proposal to construct a telecommunications mast on Green Belt land at the bottom of Church Lane, Huntington, the applicants have re-submitted the proposal. The site which is located on farm land just south of Hall Farm is on the edge of Huntington Village’s Conservation area and close to the popular public footpaths that run along side the river Foss.

I have to say that I am disappointed but not totally surprised that two months after successfully protecting our local green belt from this development, we have to do it all again. The proposed mast is completely inappropriate to this area of natural beauty on the edge of Huntington village. It would have a detrimental impact on the local amenity and green belt area used by local residents who at present enjoy the beautiful surroundings.

The application is scheduled to be determined by York City Council’s East Area Planning Committee on the 12^th March. Resident’s wishing to object to this application should respond by writing to:
