PLANS seeking permission to create a phone mast at a railway station have been withdrawn.
Proposals sought prior approval from St Helens Council for a 20m lattice tower at Newton-le-Willows railway station.
Plans also included for three antennas, a dish, and three cabinets, located within a compound measuring 9m x 9m and associated ancillary works.

The application was submitted by Cornerstone, described as a "leading mobile infrastructure services company" that "acquire, manage and own over 20,000 sites and are committed to enabling best in class mobile connectivity for over half of all the country's mobile customers".
Cornerstone "oversee works on behalf of telecommunications providers", plans add.
The application has since been withdrawn, a decision notice on the council's planning portal confirmed.
A reason for the withdrawal was not cited but a correspondence from planning officers to the applicant suggested if they intend to resubmit the application, to discuss first with the case officer any amendments or revisions.
