AN extension could soon be fitted to a mobile phone mast in Horwich.
Councillors in Horwich recommended approval for an application by O2 to increase the height of the existing 20 metre lattice tower on land at Armstrong's factory off Chorley New Road by 2.5 metres. The plans include three additional antennae and one equipment cabinet.
No objections have been received so far, but planning officers intend to widen the consultation area because of the size of the mast before it goes to Bolton Council's planning committee for a final decision.
