Search the Public Notice PortalPeople living close to a town pub were given an early say on plans for a new mobile phone base station in March.
Cornerstone, a major UK mobile infrastructure company which works with companies such as Vodafone, undertook a pre-planning consultation asking people what they think of the plans for the 20m high mast, ahead of last week's submission of a planning application to Fenland District Council.
The company, which acquires, manages, and owns over 20,000 sites nationally, provides mobile connectivity for over half the country's mobile customers.
The firm also oversees work on behalf of telecommunications providers, and aims to promote shared infrastructure, maximise opportunities to consolidate the number of base stations, and try to reduce the environmental impact of network development.

It is looking to install a mobile phone mast and station base on land outside the Men of March pub on Norwood Road.
The firm submitted a planning application last week, but it has yet to be validated and so is not currently on the council's planning portal.
It launched an early consultation to inform residents of what's being proposed and to gather views before submitting the formal application.
Cornerstone says the installation is intended to improve mobile coverage in the area, and that they aim to minimise the number of masts by encouraging shared infrastructure across networks.
Residents were encouraged to share their comments, questions, or concerns directly with Cornerstone during this pre-application stage, and they can still do that, but will shortly be able to make a comment directly to the council on the application.
In the meantime, comments can still be sent to Community Consultation & EMF Enquiries, Hive 2, 1530 Arlington Business Park, Theale, Berkshire, RG7 4SA or email: community@cornerstone.network.
A spokesperson for Cornerstone said: "We understand that our mobile infrastructure impacts communities. For this reason, we give great consideration to minimising the visual impact in our designs.
"We aim to ensure they blend into the area as much as is possible while enabling quality digital connectivity to the communities we serve. Integral throughout is our engagement with local stakeholders such as planning authorities and elected community representatives.
" An application for the proposed site has now been submitted to the Local Planning Authority."
