Planning permission has been upheld for a new telecom mast in Leitrim following an appeal by residents. Vantage Towers Limited were successful in seeking planning permission for the installation of an 18 metre telecommunications mast at Sunnagh More in Cloone earlier this year. The lattice tower is designed to support antennae, dishes and other associated telecom equipment and would be enclosed by security fencing.
Locals raised issues over the mast's effect on property values, local biodiversity and public health. Roscommon County planners cleared the application in April with seven conditions attached. An appeal was lodged with An Bord Pleanála, but was not successful following examination by An Bord Pleanála.
