Vantage Towers Limited have been granted planning permission, subject to ten conditions, for the erection of a 24 metre tall lattice telecommunications support structure at Danesfort, County Kilkenny.

The structure will be placed on a 1.2 metre high raised foundation (providing an overall height of 25.2 metres) together with associated antennas and dishes.

The plans also allow for the removal of the existing 15 metre lattice telecommunications structure.
