Through my friend Tracy I found out about a telecommunications structure that had been rejected for erection in Drumcliff two years ago but now was up again. 

Development consisting of the erection of a new 35m pine tree multi-user telecommunications support structure carrying 9 No. antennas and associated remote radio units, 6 No. communication dishes, 1 No. lighting finial and 9 No. outdoor cabinets all enclosed within a security compound by a 2.4m high palisade fence with a 4m access gate, site access and site works. The development will provide voice and mobile broadband services in the area.

The proposed pictures of what it would look like are very vague and not giving us a proper idea of what they would really look like on the landscape.

The forest is planned to be cut down in the next couple of years so it will really be on it’s own.

You can object by downloading the following letter and amending it for yourself. We have to have our objections in by the 19th of August 2021
