MOTION NO. 13

MOTION: Councillor T. Gilligan

That this Area Committee asks that the manager outlines what this pole is. Is planning permission required. And how many have been erected in this LEA? correspondance from sdcc noted below . Image attached also for your convenience.

I believe a staff member previously replied to the below but in case it was missed, I believe it's a telecommunications pole and is not related to SDCC traffic.

Please could I ask you for the exact location of the below pole along Fonthill Road (is it easily identifiable from the Clondalkin Primary Health Centre)? Thanks

REPORT:

The description provided by the applicant (Cignal Infrastructure Ltd) is as follows:- 18m Alpha 3.0 Streetpole Solution with antennas and ground equipment cabinet on grass verge along the north side of Fonthill Road South. More particularly, the mast is located behind the rear boundary of the Clondalkin Primary Health Centre along Fonthill Road. This mast is to improve telecommunications network coverage in the area. A search of 254 licenses involving telecommunications in the ACM's area indicates 6 applications granted, 1 refused and 2 at further information stage.
