82ft mobile phone mast approved near Wymondham

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 11 Oct, 07:13 · Archive

An 82ft mobile phone mast will replace a 49ft telecommunications column near Wymondham as part of a network upgrade.

An 82ft mobile phone mast will replace the existing 49ft telecommunications column behind Grove Farm on Tuttles Lane East near Wymondham. Cornerstone submitted the plans to South Norfolk Council in August as part of a network upgrade. The council has now confirmed that formal approval is not required for the new tower.

Cornerstone states that mobile network sites must be upgraded regularly to keep pace with growing demand for phone and data services. The company explains that base stations are essential for mobile and device functionality, and upgrades can be achieved by redeveloping sites to increase the number of technologies or the number and height of antennas.

The new monopole will hold six antennas, three relocated antennas and a relocated dish.
