Telecoms company wants to build 56ft high 5G phone mast
Telecoms bosses want to put up the structure on the A58 Wellington Road, on the edge of the city centre. The site technically falls within the city’sCK Hutchinson Networks, which is behind the plans, claims mobile internet disruption in the area will get worse if the mast is not built.Telecoms bosses want to put up the 5G mast on the A58 Wellington Road, on the edge of Leeds city centre.
In its planning application, CK Hutchinson said: “Without this new site, the operator’s customers would continue to experience an increase in numbers of dropped calls, buffering and unable to access the internet on their handheld devices. “They would also not be able to access the 5G network, a demand which is increasing rapidly as customers update their handheld devices to ones that are 5G compatible. If the 5G network is not available then the customers would not be able to utilise these handheld devices for the purposes in which they were purchased.”for a 15m 5G mast in Leeds city centre, next to the National Express bus terminal on Dyer Street.
Across the country, masts have drawn some criticism for their height and visual impact on communities.CK Hutchinson said it accepted the mast would be taller than other surrounding infrastructure, such as lampposts, but “this is not a valid reason to conclude that it is not appropriate”. It added: “The case for 5G is compelling as it will bring faster, more responsive and reliable connections than ever before.
