A CONTROVERSIAL bid to erect a 12 metre-high mobile phone mast at Piddinghoe Reservoir in Links Avenue, Peacehaven has been given the thumbs-down.

Members of the town council said the mast would be a blight in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

And people living in the vicinity told the council they were upset that they had not been consulted about the proposal.

The planning application will now be considered by Lewes District Council.
