Proposal

Base station upgrade. The proposed upgrade consists of the replacement of existing 1no 17.5m monopole supporting 3no antennas, with 1no 20m monopole supporting 6no antennas, the removal of 8no cabinets, the installation of 3no cabinets, and ancillary development thereto. The positioning of the pole will be very slightly amended, moving approximately 10.9m east, along the same grass verge This option has been chosen as it utilises an existing installation which will improve coverage with minimal changes to the equipment, reducing the visual impact on the surrounding area as far as technically possible.
