PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT • The application is proposing to install a 17.5m high monopole mast with associated equipment cabinets. The mast will have 3 no. panel antennas and 2 x 300mm dishes. • An equipment cabin and meter cabinet will be installed on site. These will measure as follows: Electrical meter cabinet - im x 0.32 x 1.lm Equipment cabin - 2.5m x 2.5m x 2.8m The mast, antennas, dishes and equipment cabinets will be colour coated green. A 1.2m high timber rail fence will be erected around the mast and equipment cabin. DEVELOPMENT PLAN POUCIES Isle of Man Planning Scheme (Development Plan) Order 1982. Isle of Man Strategic Plan (Modified Draft) (November 2004) PLANNING HISTORY 00/01769/13 - Erection of 20m monopole with 3 antennae - granted 02.03.200 1 REPRESENTATIONS Andreas Parish Commissioners have no objection to the proposed development. • The Director of Customer Services of Manx Telecom have commented on the following comments:

I am writing to request that the Planning Committee gives due consideration to the prevention of the proliferation of radio transmitter mast in relation to ten of the planning applications.

The Manx Telecom mobile radio network has been developed over the ten year period from 1996. In doing so, we have had to meet the full requirements of the Planning Committee, including the provision of a comprehensive justification for proposed sites at a particular location. In addition, for the proposed sites as Dalby, Glen Maye and Foxdale we have had to demonstrate planning gain through the removal of the existing tower at Arrasey.

In developing our radio network, we have also had to comply with the Coordination of Transmission Aerials (CoTA) directive from Government. CoTA exists to reduce the number of sites required on the Island and Manx Telecom has been a member of this Committee since its inception in 2001.

With respect to the ten planning applications listed in Annex A, either a Manx Telecom radio site already exists at the location or the applicant states that site sharing at the nearby Manx Telecom site is not an option. In all cases, we notify the Planning Committee that no approach has been made to Manx Telecom to mast share or to develop the existing site to enable mast sharing.

We believe that mast sharing is an important element in the development of radio networks. To this end, we have already informed Cable and Wireless that we agree with the principle of mast sharing where it is deemed appropriate to do so. Indeed, we have already agreed to proceed with mast sharing at two other sites requested by them.

Customer requirements will require Manx Telecom to continue to develop it own radio network and we will be submitting applications for additional sites as and when necessary. Our experience to date is that any application for new structures is subject to full consideration by the 21 March 2007 06/02089/B Page 2 of 9

==== PAGE 10 ====

Planning Committee and that permission is not readily granted. It would be most unfortunate if an unnecessary proliferation of masts were to be approved now to create a second network, which could then have a negative effect on the future development of radio networks to meet customer demand. Mast sharing at this time could avoid this problem Annex A lists the monopole at Andreas Airfield. • Manx National Heritage (MNH) have made the following comments in relation to a number of applications:

The above applications form part of the infrastructure for a new mobile telecommunications network proposed by Cable and Wireless. In total we understand that the planning office has deemed that twenty-three proposals require planning permission, but in reality there will be around four times this number of new installations needed to make this system functional.

The Trustees of MNH are deeply concerned at the scale of this scheme, which would appear to fly in the face of both the purpose and the draft findings of the Committee on Transmission (CoTA), set up in October 2001 as a result of a Council of Ministers consideration in February 2001 that there was a need for a policy framework with the overall objective of minimising the number of sites where new masts would be required, taking account of new technologies and encouraging mast sharing. Consideration was also given to requiring any proposal for the development of a new or further development of an existing site to minimise the impact the development would have on the natural and cultural environment and to show that there was no viable alternative solution. None of these applications can realistically be considered in complete isolation, as the impact of the network as a whole must be assessed.

The Draft Strategic Plan rightly considers this issue and states '11.9.3 A Committee which includes representations from all interested parties has been established to co-ordinate the use and development of communication masts and infrastructure. The Government Plan 2004/7 includes a proposal to increase mast sharing by operators. Infrastructure Policy 4: A balance must be struck between the need for new, evolving communications systems to satisfy residential and business demand and the impact that the necessary infrastructure will have upon the environment. Measures which may help to achieve a satisfactory balance will include a presumption against visually intrusive masts in sensitive landscapes, the encouragement of mast sharing by different operators and the removal of redundant infrastructure. Exceptions to this policy would need to demonstrate a strategic national need.

In planning statements accompanying several of the applications where site selection and the potential for sharing facilities have been discussed, the applicant claims to have approached the development on the basis of creating a minimum network required to operate effectively and robustly in the face of estimated demand, thus minimising environmental impact and maximising effectiveness against initial cost.

In our view, however, all the applications lack detailed consideration of the concept of employing the best available technology in order to minimise the cumulative impact of this network on the Manx landscape. In many of the applications the developer has dismissed the possibility of redeveloping existing sites in favour of co-location, this the creation of an additional single-user mast together with attendant equipment cabins, cabinets and security compounds. The result is that where, less than a decade ago, telecommunications masts were a rarity on the Island there is now one set of masts for Manx Telecom, another set proposed by Cable & Wireless, and the prospect of yet more for Cloud9.

This is clearly proliferation of exactly the kind which CoTA process was designed to avoid: mast sharing was a key element of the recommendations drafted by the Committee. Planning Approval for such an infrastructure will have a significant impact on the Isle of Man and its landscape. 21 March 2007 06/02089/B Page 3 of 9

==== PAGE 11 ====

Furthermore, we are concerned that in bringing forward a network which has been avowedly developed on the basis of minimising new sites, there will consequently be great pressure on the Planning Committee to give approval for all of the applications, since if one falls, then the effectiveness of the network will be reduced or even compromised to the point where it is unworkable. The base station sites are particularly vulnerable in this respect.

Under such circumstances, we believe that it would be most appropriate for all of these applications to be considered together by an independent planning inspector with the opportunity to assess properly the impact of the entire network and the technical background necessary to make an informed recommendation. For this reason, on a matter which is clearly of national significance, we would strongly urge that these applications be "called-in" for public inquiry. ASSESSMENT • This application is one of many recently submitted applications by the applicant for the installation of various types of telecommunication developments across the island. • In May 2006, the Communications Commission licensed two operators to offer mobile telephone service in the Isle of Man. These were Cable & Wireless Isle of Man Ltd (the applicant) and Wire9, through its Manx subsidiary Cloud9. • In late September 2006, an initial meeting was held with the applicants to discuss the general principles for rolling out a new mobile phone network for the whole of the Island. This meeting was then followed by subsequent meeting to discuss site specific issues. • The options for the design used by an operator will be affected by the site conditions, technical constraints, landscape features and capacity requirements. The main options would include

Mast and/or site sharing;

Installation on existing buildings and structures;

Camouflaging or disguising equipment

Using small scale equipment;

Erecting new ground based masts. • The applicant was guided towards using existing masts, site sharing in the first instance and then new mast being the last resort. • As a result of these meetings Cable and Wireless and National Grid Wireless have sought a number of determinations for whether planning permission would be required to install antennas, dishes and equipment cabinets on a number of existing telecommunication sites over the Island. These are:

DHA .Jurby Tower

DHA Kimmeragh Tower

DHA Ballasaig Tower

DHA Peel Hill Tower

DHA Snaefell Tower

DHA Carnane Tower

DHA ESJCR Tower

NGW PortSt Mary

NGW Glen Maye

NGW Laxey

NGW Union Mills

Mast a Broadcasting House. • These were considered not to require planning permission or at least require planning permission for external equipment cabinets. 21 March 2007 06/02089/B Page 4 of 9

==== PAGE 12 ====

• These sites along with the Beary Park Transmitter gives a total of 13 existing masts will be used as part of the new network without the need of installing a new mast at these sites. The applicants are proposing to use 38 sites to set up the initial network. Therefore 34.2% of the sites are existing masts. • In terms of site sharing, this is where a new mast will be located alongside an existing mast. 9 of the sites are considered to be site sharing, which is 23.7% of the sites Overall the 57.9 % of the new network will be based on mast/site sharing locations. • In terms of the location of apparatus on existing buildings or structures (excluding masts), the applicant has identified 5 buildings to locate their apparatus on, which is 13.2% of the total number of sites. • In terms of the installation of new masts, the applicants are proposing 11 new masts to be installed on the island, which is 28.9% of the sites. This application is proposing a site share. • The applicant has indicated the site has been considered strategically to provide coverage along the nearby A roads in particular the A9, A19 and the A17, and surrounding settlements in particular Andreas. • In the site selection process the applicant has identified no existing dedicated telecom sites or suitable existing structures on which to mount the antennas, apart from the existing Manx Telecom site, which is a single user monopole. • The applicant feels by redeveloping this structure into one that would be able to accommodate the equipment of both operators it would create a structure that would be significantly taller and more bulky which in turn would be more visually intrusive than two single use monopoles. • The applicant has also looked at a disused electricity pole at Kimmeragh Farm approximately 1km east of the proposed site. This was discounted as the applicant would need to get a height of 25m to make the location work from a coverage perspective. Due to the prominent position on a hillside, the applicant felt that a pole of this size would be more visually intrusive. • As a result the applicants feel the best choice of site location for a new mast would be in direct co-location with the existing Manx Telecom Site. • The proposed mast along with the antennas and dishes will be colour coated green to blend in with the surrounding landscape. • The proposed equipment cabin is of standard design and size and will be green and will have limited impact on the visual amenities of the area, as the gorse bushes will obscure any view of it from the pubic highway. • In terms of the impact from the A17, the mast is set back from the public highway. The existing Manx Telecom mast is visible from the public highway. The mast is over 20m in height. The proposed mast is considerable lower in height than the Manx Telecom's mast by approximately 3m. The height of the proposed mast will reduce its impact within the landscape when viewed from the public highway. • The structure is an alien feature which could affect the character of the landscape. The proposed mast is probably the least intrusive design which could be developed for the purpose. The applicant believes any alternative site within the area would be more exposed and in much closer 21 March 2007 06/02089/B Page 5 of 9
