    GB News up-to-date as usual! It is an old story, been around all year.

    Even the Daily Mail had the story last February!

    Yes and no. Yes, rents have mostly been cut. But no, this ain't new.
    It's a row that's rumbled on since legislation in 2017. Legislation
    which IIRC was in response to demands from people in rural areas for
    better mobile coverage which required new masts, for which landowners
    wanted £000s a year per mast.

    Probably, there do seem to be a lot of planning applications at the moment. Slimline monopoles of differing heights, with x no of aerials and a wrap around equipment bay at the bottom including 2 more stand alone cabinets for ancillary use and associated work.
    They often mention something called G8, but I have no idea what that is, I suspect it probably is a code for just how unsightly it will be when they
    put it up. I simply don't understand why they don't make more socially aesthetically nice looking ones.

    The big problem at the moment is nobody wants one opposite their house but everyone wants better coverage for their phone.
    I'd have thought though that if all the networks pooled their resources in finding good places for masts and then shared the thing, it would go a long
    way to stopping the plethora of masts we do seem to be getting at the
    moment.

    Have a look at case studies under code powers and it will reveal what is happening its to do with the digital economy act.

    Its why some landlords don't want mobile telco's on their land
    anymore;!..

    Mobile companies can now erect masts up to 20m high using "prior approval" mechanism, so round here they have been popping up near major roads etc. This will drive down the rent for premium rental sites (tall buildings, church towers etc.) They are
    also connecting them using microwave dishes rather than fibre, so apart from a power supply no digging up to get them online.
