The removal of the 15m high Hutchinson Elara Street Pole. The addition of a new 20m Orion Pole, complete with 6no Antennas, 3no RRUs and a GPS Module. The addition of ancillary equipment thereto. The column is a simple, functional, vertical structure necessary to provide new service provision to the surrounding area. There are other vertical structures in the street scene which will help it assimilate in to the local environment. The antennas are packed as tightly as possible at the top of the mast to minimise visual impact in the surrounding area. This is the minimum width possible to ensure that all the antennas are able to be supported at the top of the column. The column width also cannot be reduced any further as it would not be able to support all the operator's equipment if the column were to be any slimmer. If it were any slimmer an additional installation would be required which would lead to the proliferation of masts contrary to national planning guidance. This ensures that the visual impact of the development on the surrounding area has been minimised so far as practicable. (As amended by notification letter received 09 January 2023).
