The proposed site is on a well used track up onto the Long Mynd.
Mobile phone developers Cornerstone have applied to build a 25.5 metre tower near Ratlinghope to fill a gaping phone 'not spot' for users of Vodafone, Telefonica UK and Hutchison 3G handsets.
The mast would have a 'see through' lattice tower that would hold six antennas, four transmission dishes, three equipment cabinets, a meter cabinet, a generator and a fuel tank. It would be in a timber-fenced compound with an access track. Chris Lambart, on behalf of the National Trust, has offered to be part of a constructive dialogue to look at alternative options.
But they add that any formal planning application would need to demonstrate that full account has been taken of any wider landscape and heritage impacts associated with the proposal. They have told the council that the site is well away from residential properties and some 465m from the nearest road to the west .
