SECTION 3 TRANSMISSION PROPOSALS www.ashfordlocalradio.com 37
TRANSMISSION PROPOSALS (g) Transmission Proposals (i) Provide details of the transmission site you propose to use, under the following headings: (a) Name and National Grid Reference of site; (b) Height of site above Ordnance datum (in metres); (c) Height of transmitting aerial above ground level (in metres); (d) Radiated power in either or both planes of polarisation, and aerial radiation pattern (if no aerial radiation pattern is submitted, it will be assumed without exception to be omnidirectional). The applicant should confirm whether he believes that his intended mast aperture will be available, and whether, where required, planning permission can be obtained. Where appropriate, evidence to support this belief should be provided. Details of any negotiations which have been entered into with the site owner should also be provided. The information provided above must take into account any requirements set out in Section 2 of this Notice. In the event of minor non-compliance, Ofcom may revisit an applicant’s proposals with a view to modest adjustment following award and closer scrutiny. Significant non-compliance may render the application liable to disqualification. (ii) Please provide a detailed computer predicted map (in colour) of the coverage anticipated using the transmission site and parameters described above. (iii) Describe proposed arrangements for transmission provision (installation, maintenance and repair). The transmission system and equipment must comply with the Engineering Code originally published by the Radio Authority, which represents Ofcom’s current policy and is available at: www.ofcom.org.uk/codes_guidelines/broadcasting/radio/codes/engineering_code.pdf (iv) What is the anticipated time-lapse between the award of licence and start of broadcasting? Applicants should note that failure to commence broadcasting the service within two years of the date on which the licence is awarded is likely to lead to the offer of a licence to the successful applicant being withdrawn. In these circumstances the licence would be advertised afresh and a new competition would be held to award the licence. > (i) Site details ALR proposes to use Charter House as the main transmitter site. Charter House is a recent high rise office development in the centre of Ashford and offers excellent coverage of the town while maintaining compliance with the restrictions set out in the application document. The site details are summarised in the table below: Site name NGR Site height Antenna height Radiated power Antenna AOD AGL (H/V) pattern Charter House TR011429 52 40 50/250 See Template 1 The proposed antenna design will take note of the restrictions given in Section Two. It is predicted that this site will readily comply with Paras 10 (i), (ii) and (iii) and to comply with Para 10 (iv) a restriction towards Calais on 106 degrees will be required following the template 1 below: Template 1 Bearing Restriction 0 to 96 0 96 to 116 6 116 to 360 0 www.ashfordlocalradio.com 38
