A MOBILE phone mast which was resited after protests from residents, is set to get the go ahead this week.

One2One received planning permission for a mast to be placed near homes in Linden Road, West Cornforth, last December.

But residents expressed concerns over possible health risks, so the company agreed to discuss alternative sites.

Sedgefield Borough Council has received a new proposal for the mast to be placed on the nearby Thrislington Industrial Estate, away from houses and schools.

The company has confirmed that if the new proposal is acceptable, it will agree not to build on the site for which it already has authorisation, in Linden Road.

The application is to be discussed by councillors on Friday.
