Plans to build a 5G phone mast that were heavily criticised by neighbours have not been given approval by a council.
An application had been submitted to Hertsmere Borough Council to build the mast at the junction of James Close and Aldenham Road in Bushey to provide improved network coverage for Vodafone in the area.
The site is currently host to a 15-metre-high street lamp – under the proposals this would have been replaced with a 17.5-metre phone mast as well as three cabinets.
The taller pole would have catered for all the data speeds as well as rolling out new 5G connectivity.
