3. TRANSMISSION PROPOSALS<br />
(i) Provide details of the transmission site, or sites, you propose to use, under the following headings:<br />
Transmission<br />
Sunley Building<br />
(a) Name and National Grid Reference of the site;<br />
NGR SJ 844 983<br />
(b) Height of site above Ordnance datum (in metres);<br />
44 metres<br />
(c) Height of transmitting aerial above ground level in metres);<br />
126 metres<br />
(d) Radiated power in either or both planes of polarisation, and aerial radiated pattern (if no aerial<br />
radiation pattern is submitted, it will be assumed without exception to be omni directional).<br />
500 watts vertical + 500 watts horizontal<br />
Antenna pattern will be omni-directional<br />
The applicant should confirm whether he believes that his intended mast aperture will be available,<br />
and whether, where required, planning permission can be obtained. Where appropriate, evidence to<br />
support this belief should be provided. Details of any negotiations which have been entered into with<br />
the site owner(s) should also be provided.<br />
NTL has offered us site-sharing facilities at Sunley Building. No planning permission is required as the<br />
antenna already exists; the changes required are all accommodated within the building<br />
The information provided above must take into account any requirements set out in Section 2 of this<br />
Notice. In the event of minor non-compliance, <strong>Ofcom</strong> may revisit an applicant’s proposals with a view<br />
to modest readjustment following award and closer scrutiny. Significant non-compliance may render<br />
the application liable to disqualification.<br />
Sunley Building, by virtue of its location, provides excellent coverage of Manchester and surrounding area.<br />
(ii) Please provide a detailed computer predicted map (in colour) of the coverage anticipated using the<br />
transmission site(s) and parameters described above.<br />
The coverage predictions overleaf show both the nominal coverage from the transmitter and the<br />
interference limitations, signalled by <strong>Ofcom</strong> in the advertisement of this licence. High quality image files have<br />
also been provided with our appendix documents. We are keenly aware of the limitations of this licence and<br />
have taken them into account in our financial and other plans. However, it is clear that interference is worst<br />
to the south and southwest of Manchester, areas of relatively affluent white population. The main Asian<br />
areas of Bolton, Oldham, Manchester and Rochdale are better covered making <strong>Kismat</strong> an ideal candidate for<br />
this licence. Please see the coverage prediction maps overleaf.<br />
