Proposal

Trench excavations for data cabling and installation of Wi-Fi points at various points within Harcourt Arboretum, including the Woodland Barn, the picnic area, the historic Serpentine Ride and the compost toilets area. The location of the new Wi-Fi points - also known as access points or APs- will provide integral Wi-Fi coverage across the most visited public areas within Harcourt Arboretum. The corresponding cabling will be buried in new shallow trenches, extending from the tractor shed to the Woodland Barn. These alterations correspond to the second phase of a wider Wi-Fi improvement project within the site; phases 0 and 1 were approved in 2019 under planning ref P19/S1658/LB. Proposed installation of 5 solar panels on the compost toilets.
