Proposed 5G mast at corner of Margaret Road and Quarry High Street

This type of structure should not be sited at the entrance to a conservation area.

I echo Andrew Harvey's comments: in particular its proximity to a busy nursery, after-school club and playground. Can anyone quantify the danger such masts pose to small children?

Who needs 5 G ?

Not suitable in this location

It feels like there must be a better place to locate a 20m 5G mast than in the middle of a residential & conservation area, next to park/playground and primary schools.

The mast is far, far too high for its proposed position in the residential community. It will easily be twice the height of any nearby trees or buildings. The mast is also right next to (within 30m) a nursery, after school club and playground, as well as close to another nursery and primary school of 640 pupils. It’s position could not be placed better for maximum exposure to children.

I am a local resident and while not against 5G in general in any way, a 20 metre mast would blight this conservation area.

Technology whose health risks have not been adequately assessed, set in a residential area with many children; the effects of 5G on health are still unknown and the precautionary principle should be observed. So no mast, please.

A less obtrusive place for its placement is preferable rather than the key entrance

The site proposed is totally inappropriate for this 20 metre high monopole mast.

This would be a real intrusion on a particularly pleasant wooded corner as one walks round the edge of Quarry Hollow Park. Why not up by the ring-road outside the Conservation Area? There must be some controls over what can be constructed in one.

This is an inappropriate structure for a park & conservation area

Quarry is a conservation area so this isn’t a question of being a NIMBY. I needed planning permission to prune a tree and to have a front wall repaired and they both had to fit into the character of Quarry. A very tall phone mast cannot possibly fit into the character of the area.

The siting of a 20m mast and associated boxes in this prominent position at the entrance to the Conservation Area is not appropriate

could something be attached to the top of the church tower in Quarry? This is specified as an option in the planning guidelines (so long as it was tasteful and unobtrusive this would make use of an existing tall structure without needing the enormous pole).

We need to know the constraints on the location. The ring road, near other masts, seems better if equally effective.

Totally inappropriate position for this mast, at the entry to a conservation area.

Will reduce the width of a well used footpath on a busy busy corner, in a conservation area.

Could we meet with rep of Hutchinson and explore options?

Siting this at the already compromised entrance to a conservation area id adding insult to injury.
