PLANS for a giant telephone mast at a Middlewich service station have been rejected by Congleton Borough Council.
Mobile phone company One 2 One wanted permission to build a 15 metre street tower, antenna and radio equipment cabin at the Shell garage on Holmes Chapel Road.
Nearby residents had objected to the mast.
But borough council planners turned down the application at a meeting on Monday night on the grounds that the mast "would have an unacceptable effect on the appearance of the local landscape and townscape".
