I think there are many reasons why it is unwise to accept 5G modernisation at the cost of the world class Yorkshire Dales. Here are a few: 1) Economically - the business cases I've viewed about the benefits to do with IoT does simply not stack up in having a meaningful benefit to our communities. Faster internet yes - see next point: 2) Technically - fibre optic would be hugely preferable as a solution to faster internet - due to speed and precision with no visual collateral. 3) Aesthetically - I would hope that individuals responsible for stewarding the Yorkshire Dales are conscious of how rare a landscape they are able to either preserve or change. 4)Environmentally - I think the effect on pollinators and species (not to mention humans) seems to be relatively unquantified. Therefore in light of the other areas, there is no reason to bring this risk to our community. I realise that it must be a hard decision - but please scrutinise your motives in this area.

Harriet Corner 1,Coverham Abbey,Coverham Abbey,Middleham,Leyburn,North Yorkshire,DL8 4RL I am writing,having already commented several times on your planning portal for this application (which I gather has crashed) to express my strong objection to this mast. Firstly,how can the YDNP,who are meant to be protectors of this unbelievably precious Dale,think that it is alright for this trial to take place,with its masts and ancillary infrastructure. The ecology and birdlife in the SSSi next door to this site includes a nesting site for a hen harrier,amongst many other rare species and the damage that EMF exposure would do to this could be catastrophic and irreversible.

It is shown on the OS maps with a different (smaller) extension to the east than exists today. The current rear extension was built after 1910 in 2 traditional solid-wall construction, so most likely in the first half of C20. There is a ‘shelf’ of protruding stones to the left part on the roadside (original) elevation; their function is unclear, and the Streetview photos do not show a blocked opening underneath. It looks like the masonry has been repointed in recent years – this may have covered up some evidence also.
