Phone Mast Application on Hollingdean Border

planning application has been submitted for erection of a mobile phone mast on the western edge of Hollingdean, on the corner of the Upper Hollingdean Road junction with ADitchling Road, near the bus shelter. The proposed mast would be 20 metres (65ft) high, with 6 antennas, 2 equipment cabinets and a meter cabinet. The application, from infrastructure company Cornerstone and Vodaphone, is part of work to upgrade the Vodaphone network for Women’s Centre Peer to Peer 5G. Given the proposed mast would be close to Downs Infant and Junior schools, schools were notified during the application process.
