Plans for a new 5G mast in Southampton have been submitted to the city council.

Lodged by Hutchison 3G UK Limited, proposals would see the 17m high monopole installed on Redbridge Hill in Millbrook.

The pylon and associated cabinets would sit on the patch of grass between the main road and the lane used by residents to park.

The proposals have already attracted some criticism with one resident arguing there would be other spaces where the mast would not dominate the appearance of the area.

They said: “As a residential close to the proposed site for this 5G mast, there are far better locations for it that will not dominate the appearance of the area or infringe on the houses and children that play on that grass verge.

“There are several sections further down Redbridge Hill between, Walnut Grove and Wimpson Lane or especially between Wimpson Lane and Borrowdale Road on the grass section that would be far more suitable for the installation of this mast.”

A decision is yet to be made.
