That's the one in Portugal, I think?
Sutton Coldfield is at:
https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/6044107
The discussion about how to render things like this in the standard
style is at
https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/issues/339 (and
probably other places).
The current tagging (man_made=tower; tower:type=communication) looks OK
to me. An alternative might be to do as per Lichfield
https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/1258302194
(man_made=communications_tower), which the "standard" style also doesn't
render.
I currently show them as e.g.
https://map.atownsend.org.uk/maps/map/map.html#zoom=18&lat=52.600125&lon=-1.833634
(with a name as well). One thing that I had given a bit of thought to
was to have _very_ tall towers appear at lower zoom levels. It'd
involve doing a bit of maths in the lua tag transform script, which is
surely possible, but not something that I've not looked at at all - and
for Sutton Coldfield it'd need the height tagging as well.
Best Regards,
Andy
