The 24 5G masts coming to Cardiff and where they will be

More 5G masts are planned to be built across Cardiff.

In June planners at Cardiff Council granted permission for 14 of the giant masts to be built across the city.

Now plans for a further 10 have been submitted to the council to consider.

Some stretch 20m tall and a number are close to residential areas, with a number of residents objecting to the plans.

The masts are proposed by companies working on behalf of mobile phone networks Three and Vodafone to help to expand and improve their networks.

Here is where the 10 new masts are:

• Adjacent to Splott Market, Lewis Road, Splott
• Land at Olympian Drive, Grangetown
• Junction of Rhiwbina Hill and Pantmawr Road, Rhwbina
• Junction of Tresillian Way and Penarth Road, Grangetown
• Llanishen car park, Heol Hir, Llanishen
• Outside Cardiff Metropolitan University, Western Avenue, Llandaff
• Rear of Llanishen Leisure Centre, Ty Glas Avenue, Llanishen
• Land at East Bay Close, Atlantic Wharf, Cardiff
• Land off Llanewrwg Way, adjacent to Newport Road, Pontprennau/Old St Mellons
• Land outside 109 - 111 Caerphilly Road, Birchgrove

All are registered and yet to be decided on by planners.

Objections have been made by residents to the masts near the Llanishen Leisure Centre and on Western Avenue.

One resident against the plans in Llanishen said: "I have absolutely no idea why land that's part of a leisure centre is being used for a telecommunications mast and associated gubbins.

"The land is part of a public amenity and it should be treated as such."

Others claimed that there are adverse health effects to living near a 5G mast. But there is no evidence to suggest 5G is dangerous, according to factchecking charity Full Fact.

The Llandaff Society also object to the planned mast on Western Avenue.

In a letter they said the 20m tall pole is "unacceptable" as it would have a negative impact on the area and would be placed on an "already over-crowded" footway.

This is a list of the initial 14 approved by the council in June :

• Land off Excalibur Drive, next to Thornhill Church Centre, Llanishen
• Opposite the garden centre on Newport Road, St Mellons
• Land off Rhiwbina Hill, next to the M4, Rhiwbina
• Land off Plas Mawr Road, Fairwater
• Next to the Johnston Road bus stop, Thornhill Road, Rhiwbina
• Opposite Heath Halt Road, Heathwood Road, Cyncoed
• Land off Celyn Avenue, next to Lomond Crescent, Lakeside
• Land off East Bay Close, Atlantic Wharf,
• Next to Ventnor Place and Western Avenue, Mynachdy
• Next to the Maindy Centre, Crown Way, Maindy
• Junction of Broad Street and Sanatorium Road, Canton
• Next to County Hall, Schooner Drive, Butetown
• Next to B&Q, Cowbridge Road West, Caerau
• Land off Whittle Road, Leckwith

Several people living nearby to these planned masts also wrote to the council, concerned about the health impacts of living so close to the new 5G technology.

Cornerstone addressed the health concerns about 5G masts in a letter to the council. The letter quoted the World Health Organisation (WHO) and Public Health England (PHE).

The WHO was quoted as saying: “A large number of studies have been performed over the last two decades to assess whether mobile phones pose a potential health risk. To date, no adverse health effects have been established as being caused by mobile phone use.”

Similarly, PHE were quoted as saying: “Exposure to radio waves is not new, and health-related research has been conducted on this topic over several decades.

"In particular, a large amount of new scientific evidence has emerged since the year 2000, through dedicated national and international research programmes.”

The UK Government website said: "There is no evidence of a link between 5G and coronavirus (Covid-19)."
