A new telecommunications mast could be coming to south Bollington.

Icon Tower Infrastructure Limited have applied to Cheshire East Council to put in a new mast, to help with your phone signal.

The applications describes the planning application as "The installation of a new sharable 25m lattice mast which is collocated with one electricity transmission tower which is host to telecommunications equipment approximately 130m to the northeast.

"The proposal also includes the installation of 7no. cabinets, 6no. antennas on 1no. headframe, 2.4m high palisade fencing 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."

The new 25 metre high Swan 5SH Tower, is sought to be put on a new concrete base, and come with six operator cabinets as well as one multi-user electrical metre cabinet. 

A 40 metre tall electricity pylon is already nearby.

Residents can submit representations on THIS LINK, with a decision to be made following this.

Immediate settlements near the mast include Bollington Cross and Tytherington.

The nearest business to the pub is The Lord Clyde Kerridge.
