Proposal
The proposed development comprises the replacement of the existing 2m stub lattice tower with a 5m stub lattice tower mounted on the existing rooftop steel grillage, together with the installation of additional antennas and associated radio equipment. The proposal has been designed to utilise the existing telecommunications infrastructure and equipment compound wherever possible, avoiding the need for the establishment of a new telecommunications site.
