Decision

Landlords consent for Licence to erect
satellite antenna at the Buttercross Leominster
• The council’s tenant and long leaseholder of ground
floor retail units at the Buttercross has requested
landlord’s consent to attach a satellite antenna to the
council’s adjoining property.
• This is necessary to improve internet connection for the
retail occupiers of the units as the traditional internet providers
have been unable to guarantee a connection within a reasonable
timeframe.
• Currently businesses are at a commercial disadvantage as the
lack of reliable fast internet is affecting trading and occupancy
rates for these units, ultimately having an adverse effect on the
variety and vitality of the local economy.
• The consent will be subject to obtaining any necessary
planning, building regulation and any other necessary statutory
approvals and the tenant will be required to carry out the works
using a specialist registered installer to ensure the highest
standards of safety and care are met.
