Residents have raised with me some questions about the new phone mast at the Stanley Road junction in Sunniside. I had to do some digging. The questions and answers are:When was it granted planning permission - June last year.Who gave it planning permission - officers under delegated powers.Who was consulted - the 14 nearest properties.Typically, phone companies install phone masts quickly after they have been granted planning permission. This time they took 14 months to get the work done. This I suspect has generated the confusion about when it was granted.
