3. Transmission Proposals<br />
RADIO PLYMOUTH<br />
a) Name and National Grid Reference of site;<br />
Fort Staddon: Ngr SX 497517<br />
b) Height of site above Ordnance datum:<br />
121 metres<br />
c) Height of transmitting aerial above ground level:<br />
66 metres<br />
(d) Radiated power in either or both planes of polarisation, and aerial<br />
radiation pattern.<br />
500 watts vertical + 500 watts horizontal<br />
Antenna pattern omni-directional<br />
Arqiva has informed us they have been in contact with the MOD and have made an application for<br />
site sharing to build the new antenna. Existing accommodation is available for the transmission<br />
equipment. Planning permission will be required; in Arqiva’s opinion for this established<br />
transmission site planning permission should not be a problem.<br />
Arqiva has chosen this site because it provides excellent coverage for <strong>Plymouth</strong> and the<br />
immediate surrounding area, and in their opinion meets the <strong>Ofcom</strong> restrictions for this licence.<br />
The plotting suggests that <strong>Radio</strong> <strong>Plymouth</strong> would cover 205,000 adults at field strength 60dBV/m<br />
and above. A small number of these would be on high ground quite far from <strong>Plymouth</strong> and as<br />
such may not be attracted to our editorial. We have, therefore, kept the TSA at 200,000<br />
throughout our application.<br />
