Plans for a new 5G mast in the old church spire at a sheltered housing complex in Stockbridge were mistakenly approved nine days before the deadline for representations, and a day before most locals were notified.<br />The approved application, which was submitted by Vodafone for a new 5G mast at the Trust Housing Association sheltered housing complex at 38 Deanhaugh Street, was legally binding, despite council officials admitting it was made in error. Vodafone has now agreed to re-submit the application and restart the the process, but residents at the sheltered housing complex are still confused as to how the mistake happened in the first place.
