T mobile have applied for a mobile phone mast on Hurstlands, on the bridge by Hurst Green Station. Now I don't dispute that coverage for that network needs to be improved, or that from a technical perspective that Hurstlands is a good site. But there are already three mobile phone masts (plus a Network Rail mast) on that same site.
Government policy is for mobile operators to mast share where that is practical. In this case T mobile claim it is not, but this to me shows a lack of imagination. A fourth mast will start to make that area look very congested.
Oxted South residents have until 30 August to make their views know to the Council's Planning department.
