TELECOMMUNICATIONS giant EE is seeking planning consent for a 20-metre high mobile phone mast on land within Partridge Lakes Fishery in Glaziers Lane, Culcheth.
The proposed mast would replace a temporary mast on the fishery car park and is proposed as an alternative to a mast at the fishery which was given planning consent last year.
A report to Warrington Borough Council planners says the proposed lattice mast would be of similar appearance to the existing temporary mast and mirrors the design of the replacement tower which received planning approval last year.
But the revised location would be more screened and hidden by surrounding vegetation than either the current temporary mast or the previously approved mast.
A number of alternative sites in the Culcheth area have been considered including Leigh Golf Course, Howards Transport, Culcheth Linear Park, The Royal British Legion, Culcheth Library, and Taylor Business Park.
All have been discounted for a variety of reasons.
EE say the mobile phone mast proposal will form part of a new 4G emergency services network and should be considered critical infrastructure with the UK to support the local community.
