Telecommunications and utilities equipment, including masts, boxes and satellite dishes, will only be permitted where:

  • they are sited and designed to minimise their visual impact;
  • they do not have a detrimental effect upon the character or appearance of the building or area;
  • innovative design and technological solutions have been explored to minimise visual impact, and
  • there is no reasonable possibility of sharing facilities.

Applications for mobile phone network development must demonstrate that they have followed and are in accordance with the Code of Best Practice on Mobile Phone Network Development or subsequent similar guidance.
