It would be the seventh highest mast in the world. The first 900 ft would be a 9-ft diameter steel cylinder, with the rest a steel lattice. There would be a 12 ft cylinder around this lattice, with the top 150 ft being 9 ft wide. 1200 cubic feet of concrete was poured into its 32 square feet foundations. 12 people would work on the site.

Originally 1,265 ft (386 m), modified height of 1,272 ft (388 m) was the tallest construction in the EU, and tallest tubular steel mast in the world. New Caldbeck Mast: 337.2 m (1,106 ft) 2008: communication: Caldbeck, Cumbria: guyed steel lattice mast
The guy-supported tubular mast was constructed from curved steel segments to form a 9 feet (2.75 m) diameter tube, 902 feet (275 m) long, and was surmounted by a lattice section 351 feet (107 m) tall, and a capping cylinder, bringing the total height to 1,265 feet (385.5 m). At the time of its construction, it was one of the tallest human-made ...
It uses as its aerial a 365-metre (1,198 foot) high guyed steel lattice mast, which is insulated against ground and is the tallest structure in the UK. The transmitter went into service in 2001. The transmitter went into service in 2001.
This is a list of the tallest structures of any kind which exist in Europe. The list contains all types of structures, including guyed masts and oil drilling platforms of 350 metres (1,150 feet) or more.
The work entailed complete replacement of the existing mast with a brand new 337 m (1,106 ft) mast, work on which began on 26 April 2007. Construction of the new mast structure was completed at the beginning of March 2008. [1] Once installation of the transmitting aerials on the new mast was complete, the old one was dismantled.

A guyed mast is cheaper to build than a self-supporting tower of equal height. A guyed mast needs additional land to accommodate the guys, and is thus best suited to rural locations where land is relatively cheap. An unguyed tower will fit into a much smaller plot. A steel lattice tower is cheaper to build than a concrete tower of equal height.
