Beechwood Farm Hodgetts Lane Berkswell Solihull CV7 7DG
Prior notification for the installation of a new sharable 30m lattice mast which is collocated with 1 No. electricity transmission tower approximately 110m to the northeast. Including the installation of 6 No. operator cabinets, 1 No. electricity operator cabinet, 1 No. headframe, 6 No. antennas, 12 No. RRUs 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.
