This Committee:

1) Samer Bagaeen – 5G Antenna

Westdene and Hove Park leaseholders at Park Lodge have again been subjected to a speculative application by the mobile operators to turn their homes into a giant 5G antenna. They feel let down by the Council’s lack of technical and planning guidance to support the delivery of digital connectivity infrastructure.

Would the Council therefore commission and prepare as a matter of urgency city plan guidance, as the London Plan team at the GLA is currently doing, covering all stages of digital connectivity planning applications and provide clarity on locations, expectations and requirements.
