Mast success!!

03/11/2016 //  by Michelle Berridale Johnson//  3 Comments

stop-masts

I am sure you will all be pleased to hear that FoodsMatter Towers is not to be blasted with phone mast radiation – well, not in  the immediate future anyhow. On Monday we saw that Camden planning had refused Telefonica’s application to install six masts and a base station on then ro0f of the little block of flats next door to us.

The reason they give is that they would not be appropriate in a conservation area – and although many of believe that there are a number of other good reasons why the masts should not have been installed, we are more than happy to go with this one!!

The proposed telecommunications antennas and GRP screening structure by virtue of its inappropriate siting, its excessive scale and bulk and unsympathetic functional design, would result in a highly visually prominent and incongruous development which would harm the visual appearance and character of the streetscene, particularly the designated views along Lawn Road and would fail to preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the conservation area, contrary to policy CS14 of the Camden Core Strategy, policies DP24 and DP25 of the Camden Development Policies, policies 7.4 and 7.8 of the London Plan and paragraphs 56- 68 and 126-141 of the National Planning Policy Framework.

So MANY thanks to all of you for your support and good wishes, and especially to those of you who may have added your objection  to the 97 that we finally clocked upon the Camden planning site!

    Its an apt demonstration that local concerns and pressure can trump bureaucratic statism. Whatever the underlying motivations its some credit to Camden Council that they accepted local views and refused the application, even though it did mean losing the – not inconsiderable – rental income.

    Great result – well done on successful campaign, many are unaware of the health issues associated with EMF radiation. It sets a good precedence for other campaigners too.

A food fad won’t kill you – an allergy will

There has been a predictable outcry in the allergy world this week’s in response to Rachel Johnson’s piece in Thursday’s Evening Standard on ‘dietary requirements’ and food fads. Being charitable, I am assuming that she has never suffered from or lived with someone with a food allergy. However, I do have some sympathy with her …

Bioplastics – a solution or part of the problem?

Everyday Plastic is a social enterprise group using accessible learning and publicity campaigns to reduce the amount of plastics used daily in our society. It was founded by its current director Daniel Webb who, having moved to Margate in Kent in 2016, was horrified to discover that there were no plastic recycling options on offer.  …

FreeFrom Christmas Awards – the Winners

Since they were launched two years ago the FreeFrom Christmas Awards have been a great success. And how lucky are ‘freefrom-ers’ these days!  From Advent calendars to gifts, party food to Christmas dinner, there is no longer any need for them to miss out. Indeed, the whole family can happily eat freefrom and never know …

Do not extradite Julian Assange to the US

Julian Assange is being sought by the current US administration for publishing US government documents which exposed war crimes and human rights abuses. The politically motivated charges represent an unprecedented attack on press freedom and the public’s right to know – seeking to criminalise basic journalistic activity. Assange is facing a 175-year sentence for publishing …

What to believe – applying critical thought

For the average citizen evaluating the claims made for cure all – or even improve all – health products and procedures has always been difficult. Not only is it an area in which we have minimal expertise but most of us have a vested interest in finding a miracle intervention that will solve our health …

Could wireless monitoring devices be killing racehorses?

Regular readers may remember that back in August last year I alerted you to a posting on Arthur Firstenberg’s Cellphone Task Force site about phone masts and bird flu. Could there be a connection between the fact that the two wildlife sites in Holland and Northern France which had suffered catastrophic bird flu deaths were …
