More Telecoms masts on top of Mundania Court

[mundania62]

A planning application has just been lodged to put 3 more 6 meter high masts on top of Mundania Court (corner of Mundania Road and Forest Hill Road)

The existing building roof is approx 13m above ground. These, at 6.6m tall will be half as tall again. This height and their position tight against the side of the building and will loom over Mundania Road, Forest Hill Road and all the surrounding houses.

There are other reasons why you may well want to object to this development.

The application number is 19/AP/1195 and the case officer is Michael Gozo. You can see the (very poor quality) drawings on the Southwark Council Planning Database

Don't believe it if the page says there are no public comments.....there are, they just try not to publicize it.

If you do comment, I would be grateful if you could let me know either by commenting on this thread or by copying the confirmation email to me at simon.clark00@googlemail.com

Is this for 5G or just extra 4G coverage ?

It is for 5G.

My objection is the size and location on the masts, their visual impact on the surrounding neighbourhood and the adjacent listed church and their impact on the amenity of the residents of Mundania Court. We already have noise nuisance issues from the existing equipment (wind noise and mechanical noise from the air-con plant) and this will only increase it.

Hi Mundania62,

The new planning application may represent an opportunity to add conditions around noise. This could fix the current problem. Happy to talk offline to get a good result for you and your neighbours.
