From the site visit conducted, our team found out that the distance between the telecommunication tower structure and the nearest residential building is less than 30 meters. This will cause problems in the future for not following the provided guideline and the Local Authority will simply reject the legalizing application for this site. (WHAT HAVE YOU FOUND ON THE SITE)

CONCLUSION

In order to obtain approval from Local Authorities, developers should follow the guidelines set by the Local Authorities and the related Technical Agencies. In this case, the developer must comply with the MCMC guidelines to provide 30 meters distance from the nearest residential building so the telecommunication tower structure will bring no harm in terms of physical and material to the public around the structure. Solution provided only as a guide and suggestions to the developer to decide. However, the best results are final and shall be made by the developer to give extensive coverage to the residents and to ensure the continuity of telecommunications network services in the area.
