Telecoms Mast 530 Metres North East Of 18 Almondhill Steading Almondhill Kirkliston
Replacement of the existing 6 No. antennas with proposed 6No. antennas, replacement of existing the 12 No. ERS with proposed 15 No. RRUs, installation of 1 No. dish, installation 1 No. equipment cabinet and ancillary development thereto. The proposed upgrade works will not have an impact on the height of the existing monopole. The total number of ERS are increasing by 3 No. ERS however, the increase in radio equipment on the headframe is not considered to result in an unduly bulky appearance. The upgrade works are relatively minor as a result; the overall site appearance will remain relatively similar to the existing. The proposed upgrade is required to provide improved technical provisions, greater capacity, and coverage in the area.
