Overview
Entrust’s photomontage and LVIA services have been crucial in supporting planning applications on behalf of EE within the South Downs National Park throughout 2021.
Demonstrating Least Harmful Locations
Part of the work involved demonstrating to the National Park Authority that the proposed masts were located in the least harmful locations possible. Significant discussion and input from both Entrust and the National Park Authority resulted in the first masts receiving planning approval in August 2021.
Transformative Impact & Benefits to the Community
These recently approved masts for the EE network are some of the first new telecommunication masts to gain planning permission in the South Downs for a number of years.
It is hoped that the new masts will transform residents, businesses, and visitors’ day-to-day lives in the National Park, as well as those travelling on the South Western Railway network in the area.
Hosting the Emergency Services Network
The masts will also host the Home Office’s Emergency Services Network, facilitating emergency response in areas where there was previously no signal.
Conclusion
Entrust’s expertise in landscape and visual impact assessments has played a vital role in securing planning approval for EE’s telecom infrastructure within the South Downs National Park.Ready to enhance your telecom network sustainably?
