Two 5G masts may be going up in Eastleigh.

Planning applications have been submitted to Eastleigh Borough Council by CK Hutchison Networks for 15-metre street poles and "additional cabinets".

Both are prior notification applications, with consultation ending on August 16.

One is planned for the land on corner of Dew Lane and Bill Luffman Way.

Elizabeth Cross, of Tommy Green Walk, commented that this would provide an "extremely dismal outlook" for her property.

She added: "Looking at the plans, I don’t believe they will fit all of the above on the currently available space without reducing the mature hedgerow and trees. This doesn’t seem to fit with Easteigh Borough Council ambitions to green Eastleigh Borough."

The decision date is August 17.

The second pole is planned for the corner of Brookside Way and Willow Close, and the decision date is August 26.
