SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION 1. Site Details Site Name: Manor Farm Site Address: Land at Manor Farm West Overton West Overton National Grid 412777, Marlborough Reference: 168250 Wiltshire SN8 4ER Site Ref Number: CTIL 241849 / Site Type:1 Macro – Greenfield TEF 80767 1.1 Background This application is proposed to infill a coverage requirement for both Telefonica UK Limited (trading in the UK as O2) and Vodafone Limited to improve their 2G, 3G and 4G coverage this area of Wiltshire. Telefonica UK Limited has entered into an agreement with Vodafone Limited pursuant too which the two companies plan to jointly operate and manage a single network grid across the UK. These arrangements will be overseen by Cornerstone Telecommunications Infrastructure Ltd (CTIL) which is a joint venture company owned by Telefonica UK Limited and Vodafone Limited. This agreement allows both organisations to: • pool their basic network infrastructure, while running two, independent, nationwide networks; • maximise opportunities to consolidate the number of base stations; • Significantly reduce the environmental impact of network development. The two companies therefore propose to meet this coverage requirement by utilising one installation to keep the overall impact of telecommunications development in the area to a minimum. 2.

To date, no site-specific comments have been received. Community Consultation Rating of Site under Traffic Light Model: Red Amber Green Outline of consultation carried out: A pre-consultation letter and proposed site drawings were sent via email to the ward councillor, Jemima Milton, Fyfield, Lockeridge & West Overton parish council and MP for Devizes, Claire Perry on 15/03/17 introducing the new site proposal as part of the new CTIL initiative. Consultation was also carried out with Stonehenge and Avebury World Heritage Site Partnership. Summary of outcome/main issues raised: Representatives of the parish council responded and enquired as to what the extent of the new coverage would be and whether it would improve coverage in East Kennet and Lockeridge. Mrs Perry also enquired as to what the extent of the coverage improvements would be and whether the adjacent villages would also benefit. Existing / Proposed 4G coverage maps were sent to Mrs Perry on 03/04/2017. Stonehenge and Avebury World Heritage Site Partnership provided the following comments, ‘The proposed site is within the Avebury part of the Stonehenge and Avebury World Heritage Site. It is near the gateway to the World Heritage Site and it within the setting of the Sanctuary and Overton Hill barrow cemetery; both important attributes of Outstanding Value for which the World Heritage Site was placed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. The open landscape in this part of the WHS is extremely important with unimpeded views up to the monuments which are currently dominant in the landscape. Within the last decade around £250, 000 has been invested in undergrounding electricity poles and cables in this area to enhance this part of the World Heritage Site landscape. I would object to the current proposed site for the 17.5 m mast and base station as it is does not comply with policies in the World Heritage Site Management Plan or the Wiltshire Core Strategy. School/College Location of site in relation to school/college (include name of school/college): No schools / colleges are deemed close enough to have a functional relationship with the site. Outline of consultation carried out with school/college (include evidence of consultation): n/a CTIL Industry Site Specific Supplementary Information England v.4 20161124 CTIL Summary of outcome/main issues raised: n/a Civil Aviation Authority/Secretary of State for Defence/Aerodrome Operator consultation (only required for an application for prior approval) Will the structure be within 3km of an aerodrome or airfield? No Has the Civil Aviation Authority/Secretary of State for No Defence/Aerodrome Operator been notified? Details of response: N/A Developer’s Notice Copy of Developer’s Notice enclosed? Yes Date served: 03/04/17 Track and Trace ref number GK273427696GB Proposed Development The proposed site: The proposed site is located on private land at Manor Farm, West Overton. The installation proposed is for a 17.5m replica telegraph pole, 2no. microwave dishes and 1no. equipment cabinets, along with ancillary works. The proposed equipment is to be adjacent trees of a similar height as the proposed telegraph pole, which will assist in assimilating the site into the existing landscape. The proposed pole is to be a replica telegraph pole with a brown, wood effect finish. The cabinet is to be painted green. CTIL Industry Site Specific Supplementary Information England v.4 20161124 CTIL Type of Structure (e.g. tower, mast, etc): Description: The installation of a 17.5m replica telegraph pole, 2no. 300mm microwave dishes, 1no. equipment cabinet, along with ancillary works. Overall Height: 17.5 Metres Height of existing building (where applicable): Metres Equipment Housing: Lancaster cabinet Length: 1.898 Metres Width: 0.798 Metres Height: 1.648 Metres Materials (as applicable): Tower/mast etc – type of material and external Steel replica telegraph pole – Timber effect (brown) colour: Equipment housing – type of material and Steel – Green (RAL 6009) external colour: Reasons for choice of design, making reference to pre-application responses: Telefonica UK Limited, commonly known as O2 and Vodafone Limited, have entered into a new agreement in which the two companies plan to jointly operate and manage a single network grid across the UK. This initiative strengthens the network infrastructure partnership between the two companies, previously rolled out as part of ‘Cornerstone’. Now a newly formed joint venture company called CTIL (Cornerstone Telecommunications Infrastructure Limited) has been formed. CTIL is owned equally by the aforementioned operators allowing a single grid infrastructure with both organisations pooling and consolidating their respective networks while running two, independent, nationwide networks. Each operator will keep ownership and control of its network spectrum; however each operator will have responsibility to manage, maintain and provide coverage in one half of the UK. CTIL have upgraded the existing base stations where possible and this project (Grow the Grid) now seeks to facilitate much needed improvement to the coverage that the 2 operators have in the area. In this instance, Telefonica are acting as the responsible operator for this part of the UK. The choice of design in this latest case has been influenced by the need for a certain minimum height and operator requirements. The overall height of the proposed replica telegraph pole at 17.5 metres has been kept to its technical minimum given the structure types which are available to the aforementioned operators. The proposed pole is at a height of 17.5 metres so as not to compromise on the centre line of the antennas and to allow for good coverage to the target area and provide coverage improvements in East Kennett & Lockeridge, as well as West Overton. The dimensions of the structure allow the site to support the technically preferred antennas and feeder cables. It is of note that the antennas which function for both operators are closely spaced together so as to keep the profile of the site as thin as possible. In this respect, each operator’s antennas are not distinguishable as separate elements, whereby taking into account the form and appearance of proposed site as a whole, to the naked eye the mast share gives the illusion of a single operator installation. CTIL Industry Site Specific Supplementary Information England v.4 20161124 CTIL The choice of a replica telegraph pole is considered to be appropriate as it would minimise the visual impact of the development within the locality. In light of the above and in choosing this particular design, it is considered that the scheme takes a form which is sympathetic within the context of its immediate landscape. It is of note that the proposed equipment cabinets are small for a telecommunications development (less than 2.5m3) and will be located close to the pole. The proposed equipment cabinets have an appearance similar to existing cabinets found in a street scene. In this respect it is considered that the design of the ancillary development will not have a detrimental impact upon the visual amenity of the area.
