Millfield Lane in Nether Poppleton A NEW 15 metre-high telecoms mast is set to be built in a village near York – but parish councillors fear it will obstruct views of York Minster. Hutchinson UK – which runs mobile network Three – has applied for permission to put the mast up in Millfield Lane in Nether Poppleton close to the entrance to Poppleton Junior Football Club. City of York Council’s planning team recommends the plans be approved. But Nether Poppleton Parish Council is unhappy with the mast, saying: “The parish council is aware that the open aspect of the Green Belt in this area of Poppleton affords wonderful views of the Minster and as such gives further protection to the Green Belt status of the area.
