To Whom it may concern,

I am writing to object to the proposed telecommunications monopole at the junction of Minster Road/Canterbury Road in Westgate (Ref TL/TH/24/1490)

Below are a list of my reasons for objecting to this application

1) There should be an exclusion zone of 500 metres from the monopole but we know of at least 3 schools and a community centre plus residential properties that are close by

2) The monopole will not be shielded by tree cover and the submitted documents clearly show that it will tower over the trees in its proximity and will negatively effect residents in the area.

3) The mast and cabinets will spoil the appearance of Westgate Library which is central to the town's learning and education.

4) The ICNIRP certificate provided makes reference to the now dissolved company Three UK Limited and does not relate to the applicant which is MBNL. This would make this application invalid.

5) There is a similar monopole further down Canterbury Road near Westgate fire station. This existing monopole does not establish a positive precedent for such
a development.
It dominates the area and damages the street scene, a second monopole in close proximity is unnecessary and will further destroy the
appearance of the area and the road. Its height will create a visual distraction to drivers on a busy main thoroughfare through the town.
