Huge 17.5-metre phone mast could be installed next to Beckenham flats
The mast, which would support six antennas and two dish antennas, is proposed for land adjacent to Flat 1, Beckenham Court, The Avenue.
A phone mast, or cell tower, is a tall structure equipped with antennas and technology that send and receive radio signals, enabling mobile phone communication.
The application, submitted by Cornerstone, also includes plans for two equipment cabinets at ground level and associated development works.
Bromley Council has confirmed it has received the application and is now inviting public comments.
The full application is available to view on the council's public access website using reference number 25/01541.
Comments must be submitted in writing to the Assistant Director (Planning) at the Civic Centre, Churchill Court, 2 Westmoreland Road, Bromley, BR1 1AS, within 21 days of the notice's publication.
The council will then determine whether prior approval is required for the siting and appearance of the telecommunications apparatus.
The consultation period is part of the standard process for such proposals, allowing residents to express any concerns or support for the development.
The application has been submitted under the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (Amendment) (England) Order 2015, which covers the installation of telecommunications infrastructure.

The whopping total of fines in Bromley for unauthorised school absences
Bromley Council has made more than £41,000 from fining parents of children who were out of school without authorisation this year. The News Shopper submitted a Freedom of Information (FOI) request to Bromley Council to find out how much the local authority had made from unauthorised absence fines since the 2021-22 academic year. The FOI gave information as far as July 2025 and revealed that £41,160 was accumulated by the council since September 2024. In the 2021-22 academic year, which was the first full school year after pandemic restrictions eased, the council collected £16,500 in fines. This amount more than doubled the following year, with £33,300 raised in 2022-23. The total fine income increased again in 2023-24 to £36,960. The most recent academic year saw more than £41,160 collected in fines, surpassing the previous records. Looking at the figures by school term shows that the summer term usually brings in the most money from fines and has the highest number of fines issued. For example, in 2021-22, Bromley Council collected £11,640 in summer fines, which was more than two-thirds of the total that year, with 278 fines given out. This went up to £17,640 and 409 fines in 2022-23 and dropped slightly to £16,860 and 422 fines in 2023-24. This pattern probably happens because many families take children out of school for holidays during term time, especially in the summer when travel is often cheaper. But in the current 2024-25 year, the spring term has already brought in £22,620 in fines and 375 fines issued. This is more than any previous spring term and almost twice the summer term total of £10,560 and 251 fines so far this year. Overall, the total number of fines has grown a lot. There were 376 fines in 2021-22, then 773 in 2022-23, and 914 in 2023-24. So far this year, 821 fines have been issued, showing the council is taking attendance more seriously. School absence fines are typically issued when children have unauthorised absences from school, such as holidays during term time or unexplained absences. The money collected from school absence fines goes into Bromley Council's general fund, contributing to the local authority's overall budget. There is no specific requirement for how the funds are spent, so they may be used to support a range of council services, including education and attendance initiatives. Under current government rules, parents can be fined £80 per child if their child has 10 sessions (equivalent to five school days) of unauthorised absence within a 10-school-week period. This fine must be paid within 21 days to avoid increasing. If it is not paid within 28 days, the fine rises to £160. If a parent receives a second penalty notice for the same child within three years, the fine remains £160 with no early payment discount. Failure to pay penalty notices or continued unauthorised absences can lead to prosecution. This can result in a fine of up to £2,500 per parent per child, a community order, or a prison sentence of up to three months.

Huge phone mast that would be 'out of character with village' is refused
A 22-METRE-high phone mast would cause a 'substantial degree of harm' to the views in an area of Bradford, planners have decided. A planning application for the huge mast and associated equipment on a site off Reva Skye Road in Clayton has been refused by Bradford Council. The application, from communications company Cornerstone, was for the installation of a 22.5m-high monopole with 12 antennas, four dishes, cabinets, and a 2.1m-high fence. It would be built on a plot of land next to a disused telephone exchange. The application had proved hugely controversial in the village, with 185 people writing to Bradford Council to urge them to refuse the works. Many objectors said the size of the mast was excessive and 'out of character with the village". Refusing the plans, officers said: 'The proposed development would result in a substantial degree of harm to the visual amenity, particularly the outlook from the row of terraces on Oakleigh Road, and would also be visible from multiple points within the wider street scene due to the height of 22.5m 'The monopole would not be sufficiently screened by virtue of scale and siting, would appear distinctly over-dominating within its surroundings.'
