Meath County Council gives green light to 24-metre high telecoms mast in Ashbourne
ESB has been granted planning permission by Meath County Council to construct a 24 metre high, free standing lattice type telecommunications structure.
The approved development will see the erection of a 24 metre high telecommunications tower, with the structure designed to support antennae, transmission dishes, and other ancillary equipment, including a lighting finial at the top.
The infrastructure will be made available for sharing with other licensed telecom operators at Donaghmore, Ashbourne.
In addition to the tower itself, the plans include the installation of associated ground equipment, which will be contained within a 2.4 metre high palisade-fenced compound. The project will also involve various associated ground works required to support the new infrastructure.
Last year, ESB bosses announced plans to begin construction work on its first multi-million euro solar farm in county.
The State owned firm said the €13m facility, located in Ashbourne, will generate 8.5MW of clean electricity and have the capacity to power over 2,000 homes.
