Planning application

Telecommunications Mast GBR-SOL0002 Kenilworth Road Balsall Common Solihull

Refused Solihull PL/2024/00678/PN Prior Notification (Telecommunications)

Refused. Only the applicant can appeal, within the statutory time limit, and a revised scheme can be submitted instead.

Proposal

The installation of a new sharable 25m lattice mast which is collocated with 1 No. electricity transmission tower approximately 160m to the north, and 1 No. transmission tower approximately 320m to the north-west. The proposal also includes the installation of 7 No. cabinets, 6 No. antennas on 1 No. headframe, 2 No. 600mm diameter transmission link dishes and ancillary development thereto. The new base station is required due to the existing mast 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.
