An appeal was made against a refusal of a faculty for the installation of a mobile phone mast in a church spire on the basis that the mast would be used for the transmission of, inter alia, pornographic materials.
Held: The appeal succeeded. A balance had to be found between the great social advantages of communication, including the duty to children under UN Convention, and the conscience of the parishioners.
