A 20-METRE telecoms mast is being proposed for a site at Winterbourne Steepleton.
The column, described as ‘slim-line’ will support three antenna and two transmission dishes with two equipment cabinets at ground level.
It is being requested for a site east of Blagdon View on the main Bridport Road.
The application says the new mast will maintain or improve existing 3G and 4G Vodaphone services in the area and offer the future potential for 5G.
A letter to councillors outlines a number of alternative sites which have been considered and suggest that the site chosen will be the best for coverage of the area and the way the mast will look.
Full details of the application are available on the Dorset Council website with the application open for public comments until February 6th.
