Replacement of the pole and the addition of a cabinet. Proposed pole will be in the same location as existing and will be at the same height as well as being finished in the same colour as existing, and the proposed cabinet will be alongside the existing cabinets and finished in Fir Green (RAL 6009) to blend in with the surrounding foliage thereby minimising the visual impact so far as practicable.
