Plans have been proposed by EE, Three and Mobile Broadband Network Limited to build a 20 meter 5G mast at Bucks Bowling Club.
The proposed ‘monopole’ will be built at Flakwell Heath Bowling Club in Straightbit, High Wycombe.
The mast (or base station) is fitted with six support antennas, four antennas, and a “cabinet.”
All of this will be surrounded by a 2.4m high “secure” fence with shark-tooth spikes, and the lower facilities will be “partially screened” by existing toilet blocks.

The existing communications equipment serving the area was located in the former Budgens supermarket, or Aries House.
However, according to EE, Three and MBNL, providers have been sent formal legal notices to remove equipment that causes “coverage gaps” in their networks.
The telecommunications giant says its plan will help maintain and strengthen network coverage in local areas.
They wrote: “Base stations use radio signals to connect mobile devices and phones to networks, allowing people to send and receive calls, texts, emails, photos, the web, TV, and downloads.
“Without a base station, your mobile device or phone won’t work.”
5G is the fifth generation of mobile networks, offering up to 100 times faster speeds and reduced latency than 4G.
With cutting-edge wireless technology, you can download full-length HD movies to your phone in seconds, for example.
