Preserving Heritage Through Community Collaboration in Infrastructure Development

12.02.2024

At Cornerstone, we respect the rich history and heritage of the areas where we install our connectivity infrastructure. Working with communities where we build is integral to us, as consultation encourages engagement in our proposed tower developments.

In Upper Llyntudor, Powys, we collaborated with the Local Planning Authority, CADW (the Welsh government statutory consultee on heritage assets) and Clwyd-Powys Archaeological Trust – a firm of local archaeologists, to find a location for our tower. This would enable the mobile network operators to provide digital services to the local area whilst preserving the integrity of an ancient monument, Fron Felyn Barrow, a bronze age round barrow.

Fay Jones, MP for Brecon and Radnorshire, said: “The importance of enhancing mobile phone infrastructure in our area cannot be overstated. The development of more mobile phone masts is crucial for improving mobile reception, which is not just a convenience but a necessity in today’s connected world. I am particularly excited about the prospects this approval opens up. It signifies progress and a move towards better connectivity for everyone in the region.”
