At Entrust Services, we are proud to play a key role in delivering expert Town Planning and Planning Technical Services for the wireless telecommunications industry. Our work ensures seamless mobile network connectivity across Ireland and the UK, helping communities, businesses, and emergency services stay connected in an increasingly digital world.
Bridging the Connectivity Gap
Telecommunications often goes unnoticed until signal strength drops or coverage is unavailable. The UK government has recognised the critical importance of strong network infrastructure, setting ambitious targets in its UK Wireless Infrastructure Strategy to expand and enhance connectivity.
Entrust Services is deeply involved in key infrastructure projects, including:
● Emergency Services Network (ESN) rollout – Ensuring first responders have reliable mobile coverage.
● Shared Rural Network (SRN) initiatives – Supporting improved broadband and mobile access in rural areas.
With our experience in planning and telecoms infrastructure, Entrust Services is contributing to the next generation of connectivity solutions.
Tackling the Challenges of Telecoms Planning
Infrastructure development often faces planning challenges, particularly around:
● Mast Height & Placement – To maximise coverage, masts need to be elevated, which can raise community concerns about visual impact.
● Regulatory Approvals – While many telecoms developments proceed through permitted development rights, others require full planning applications with detailed assessments.
At Entrust Services, we help clients navigate complex approval processes with expert guidance. Our team works closely with local councils, developers, and stakeholders to ensure a smooth and compliant planning experience.

Entrust Service’s in-house Technical Services Team offers a range of specialist mapping and visualisation solutions to support telecoms planning applications, including:

● Photomontages & Wireframes – Providing stakeholders with a preview of proposed developments.
