5.4 Services
Utility poles are visually
prominent in parts of the villages and there is pressure for
new masts for telecom services. More street lighting has been
debated for many years, but a majority of households responding
to the questionnaire were opposed to lighting as being out
of character with the rural nature of the Parish.
Minimise the visual impact of services
Ensure:
• the visual impact of new communications masts or equipment
is minimised
• telecoms providers share masts wherever possible
Encourage:
• placing telephone and electricity cables underground
in the villages when these need to be renewed
