Developer’s Notice Copy of Developer’s Notice enclosed? Yes No Date served: 20/01/2021 2 3. Proposed Development The proposed site: 3.1 The application site is located on the rooftop a building named Coombe Lea which is located on Grand Avenue. The multi-storey rectangular-shaped building is approximately 32m high and in use as a residential apartment block. The building has a traditional brick material finish with a single main roof-level and two plant room structures that sit above the main-level. The building has various protrusions and recesses formed by balconies. The building has associated landscaped grounds and ground-level carpark in front of the east elevation, fronting Grand Avenue. 3.2 The host building forms one of several high-rise apartment blocks located on Grand Avenue. The buildings are similar in form, scale and general appearance. The wider area is predominantly characterised by dense patterns of multi-storey buildings, often in residential use. Church Road is situated a shorth distance to the north of the site with its various retail and financial services of the type typically found on a high street. Hove Beach is approximately 300m to the south of the site. Figure 1. Aerial view of application site (denoted approximately) and local context. Map source: Google. Enclose map showing the cell centre and adjoining cells if appropriate: Network information is provided separately within this application. 3 Type of Structure (e.g. tower, mast, etc): Description: Installation of 6No. antenna apertures across 3No. steel support structures, 3No. 600mm wide dishes and 8No. equipment cabinets all at roof-level, 1No. cabinet at ground-level, plus ancillary works. Ancillary apparatus includes steelwork, fixings and supporting electrical equipment. Please refer to submitted plans for full details. Equipment housing cabinets 3No. Outdoor cabinets (770x770x2100mm) 1No. H3G AMP5930 cabinet (640x600x2165mm) 1No. EE AMP5930 cabinet (640x480x1200mm) 1No. Furo cabinet (775x600x2100mm) 1No. Link AC cabinet (1200x600x1800mm) 1No. 3900A (600X480X1600mm) 1No. Meter cabinet at ground-level (1100x400x1200mm) Overall Height: 36m approx. (top of highest proposed structure) Height of existing building (where applicable): 33.20m approx. (highest part) Equipment Housing: See above section Length: Width: Height: Materials (as applicable): Tower/mast etc – type of material and external Antennas & dishes – white/light grey, made from plastic & colour: steel Support structures – galvanised-steel Equipment housing – type of material and external Cabinets to be coloured light grey or green. colour: Reasons for choice of design, making reference to pre-application responses: Antennas, dishes & supports 3.3 The equipment layout and design are based on the principle of meeting operational requirements of the mobile operators Everything Everywhere (EE) and Three, whilst minimising impact on the appearance of the host building and its surroundings, as far as technical constraints allow. 3.4 The base-station has been designed to accommodate replacement apparatus, allowing provision of 2G, 3G and 4G mobile connections to the surrounding area to continue. It has also been designed to accommodate new 5G technology, introducing ultra-fast mobile connectivity capable of operating the ‘Internet of Things’. This upgraded and replacement infrastructure will provide higher mobile down-load speeds and more reliable, quicker phone connections. There would be increased capacity to provide services to a higher number of people at the same time. 3.5 The number and scale of proposed antennas/dishes is informed by the number of communication services being provided (4G, 5G etc.); the fact that the base-station will be multi-operator meaning that both EE and Three require apparatus; and because of the high technical capability of 5G services. 3.6 The antennas must be allowed to unrestrictedly emit a radio signal, meaning they need to be sited at an elevated position at the edge of the rooftop to enable the radio signal to clear surrounding structures, such as buildings and trees, with the aim of avoiding interference. The radio frequencies that 5G operates at is particularly sensitive to interference from solid objects, which necessitates securing the antennas to elevated steel support frames at the height proposed. 4 3.7 The layout of the antennas is informed by physical constraints of the rooftop and local area, and the outcome of software modelling which positions the antennas in such a way that they collectively provide 360-degree coverage to the surrounding area. Similarly, the dishes must connect to other base-stations in the wider network by microwave link. As such, they require ‘line of sight’ which an unobstructed path to neighbouring base- stations. 3.8 The aforementioned factors have informed the design of the proposed equipment which is of the minimum amount and scale possible, while still meeting structural and radio planning requirements. Equipment cabinets 3.9 The antennas must connect to the proposed equipment housing cabinets by electrical cable feeders. The equipment cabinets, an essential component of the base-station, must be located as close to the antennas as possible in order to minimise electrical power losses during operation. 3.10 The central rooftop location and scale of the proposed cabinets, in the context of the host building, means that they are unlikely to be visible from ground-level.

Map source: Google. 7 Technical Information Yes No International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection Declaration attached (see below). International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection public compliance is determined by mathematical calculation and implemented by careful location of antennas, access restrictions and/or barriers and signage as necessary. Members of the public cannot unknowingly enter areas close to the antennas where exposure may exceed the relevant guidelines. When determining compliance, the emissions from all mobile phone network operators on or near to the site are taken into account. In order to minimise interference within its own network and with other radio networks,

  • East Sussex Record Office Report of the County Archivist April 2008 to March 2009 Introduction
    eastsussex.gov.uk East Sussex Record Office Report of the County Archivist April 2008 to March 2009 Introduction The year was again dominated by efforts towards achieving The Keep, the new Historical Resource Centre, but the core work of the Record Office continued more busily than ever and there was much of which to be proud. In July 2008 we took in our ten-thousandth accession, something of a milestone in the office’s own history of almost 60 years. An application to the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) for £4.9million towards the costs of The Keep was submitted by the Record Office on behalf of the capital partners, East Sussex County Council, Brighton & Hove City Council and the University of Sussex, in September. This represented around 20% of the anticipated costs of the building, since the partners remain committed to find the remainder. In December we learned our fate: that we had been unsuccessful. Feedback from the HLF indicated that ours had been an exemplary application, and one which they would have liked to have supported but, in a year when the effect of diverting HLF money to the Olympics was being felt, it was thought necessary to give precedence to some very high-profile projects. We were, of course, disappointed, but determined not to be deterred, and the partners agreed to pursue ways forward within the existing funding. Because it would further hold up the project, adding to inflation costs, but give no guarantee of success, we decided not to re-apply to the HLF, and by the end of the financial year were beginning to look at options for a less expensive building.
