The company said the site is 'the only viable solution that minimises amenity issues'
The company says the mast will improve coverage and capacity on the network, particularly in relation to 5G services.
In the supplementary information to the plan, it added: “This equipment is considered unlikely to have any material impact on the local area but significant connectivity improvements." Other reasons for the site being chosen included that it is in a commercial area and dual carriageway, with other structures such as lamp posts and road signs nearby, and nearby greenery.
The decision confirming prior approval specifies the mast must be painted grey “in the interests of the visual appearance of the site”.
