Object by 29th March
Here is an update on the matter of the proposal to install phone masts on the high point of the arts centre. See this previous post for pictures of where it will be.
Below an update from the chair of the BA planning sub-committee. If you would like to object to the proposed masts you can email the planning team at plans@cityoflondon.gov.uk or visiting the City planning website, planning reference numbers 19/00108/FULL and 19/00109/LBC (LBC is Listed Building Consent application).

I remain concerned however about the application from CTIL (Vodafone and O2) that I highlighted last week i.e. the application to install a raft of mobile transmission equipment on the roof of the Barbican Centre. Whilst this may be a very personal view (and therefore apologies to those who think it is a good idea) the more I think about this application the more outrageous it becomes. There is very scant information provided with the application (no acknowledgement of it being a Grade II" listed estate for example) and what there is, in my view, is misleading ie. it infers that there was a proper pre-application consultation process and that there were no comments received from those consulted. We know this not to be the case as the BA did indeed write a letter to CTIL voicing its objections very clearly. The breach of listed building guidelines and possible health issues are also notable by either their absence or platitudes. .
My concern is that this application has been submitted in the hope that it will not be picked up and that inertia will prevent enough objections being lodged. Indeed only 9 objections have been lodged with the Planning Dept to date. I have therefore taken the liberty of drafting an email which you, as House Chairs, could send out to your fellow residents with a request that as many as possible lodge their objections before the standard consultation expiry date of 11th March 2019. Please feel free to make any amendments - or to just ignore it!
