Phone mast location in use?

Bryony19 — Wed, 17 May 2023 14:28:39 GMT

Hi,

Im looking to buy a house. However there is a EE phone mast area sectioned off next to the house. There is no longer a mast there, however I was wondering where I could get any information of them putting a new mast up? There hasn't been one there since 2020.

Thanks,

Sounds like this may have been a previous site that's been decommissioned.

What information are you seeking?

Hi,

Just wanting to know if there is any chance of them putting another one up? Or is it now just a spare plot of land?

The site wouldn't have been decomissioned without due consideration. Only your Land Registry deeds will confirm for sure, but it's likely a spare plot of land now.

Ok, thank you.

So the chances of them putting another mast up is very slim?

I don't know for certain, but I very much doubt any network would go to the expense of decomissioning a site only to then change their mind a few years later. The process is far from cheap, and is only done after careful radio planning considerations.

What's your reason for wanting a new site in this location?

Ok, thank you.

I'm looking to buy a house who's boundaries lay next to an old mast site. So I don't want them to put another mast up.

Just looking at all options before I buy.

Thank you for your information
