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.
