Beechwood Farm Hodgetts Lane Berkswell Solihull CV7 7DG
Prior notification for the installation of a new sharable 30m lattice mast that is collocated with 1 No. electricity transmission tower approximately 110m to the northeast. The proposal also includes the installation of 6 No. cabinets, 2 No. headframes, with 12 No. antennas, 2 No. transmission link dishes and ancillary development thereto. The new base station is required due to the existing electricity transmission tower being unsuitable for the necessary upgrade of equipment. Additionally, the proposed mast will future proof the site as it has the capacity to host multiple operators equipment and the ability to host 5G technologies.
