PRE-PLANNING APPLICATION CONSULTATION FOR PROPOSED SHARED REPLACEMENT ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS APPARATUS AT LAND AT PIRTON SPORTS AND SOCIAL CLUB, 19 WALNUT TREE ROAD, PIRTON, HITCHIN, SG5 3PX (NGR E: 514995, N: 231514)

Details of a pre-planning application for a 20 metre high 5G telecoms mast and associated cabinets has been received by the Parish Council. The Council has a limited time to respond to this, has been seeking advice and clarification and is most concerned over the impact such a development might have at the Recreation Ground. The proposed site would take up valuable car parking space, would possibly affect the drainage solution for the new pavilion, would require its own electricity supply and access for construction of the mast and associated works could be a problem.

Please read the attached letter and inspect the drawings attached to this item and let your views be known.
