Can't recall what The Neighborhood Plan says about these monstrosities, but the problem is, we need them! They used to be put on farmland, where at least the farmer got an annual fee, but I guess they are even trying to get out of paying that?

I think 5G masts are much bigger and taller than the 4G masts. On the other hand they are supposed to be 100 times faster. There has been a lot of stuff from the US pointing out their dangers. I am not sure how accurate it is, may be just fake news. There is also something about “millimetre wave” which probably means something to people who understand telecommunications, which could indicate bad news.
