The Council acquired land at Blackwell, with
two mobile phone and telecommunication masts, in situ. The masts
are under separate leases.
The existing operators of the masts pay a rental to the Council.
However, due to changes in the telecommunication code there is
likely to be a significant adverse effect on rental levels in the
future.
Cabinet has agreed (Min C13/Jun/19 refers), a request from a
specialist company who own and manage telecommunication sites to
acquire the ground lease of the two masts.
To dispose of the ground lease of land at
Blackwell, the site of two telecom masts, to a specialist
telecommunications company in order to maximise potential
investment returns for the council; and to minimise management
input in a specialised area and risks due to changing
legislation.
None.
