G10 Telecommunications
Telecommunications development will be permitted provided that:
- There would be no unacceptable impact on the built or natural environment;
- Where any adverse impact could occur the council can be satisfied that alternatives to the equipment proposed, the site chosen and the possibility of sharing facilities have been fully explored and for technical or legal reasons are impractical;
- Any mast or other equipment proposed is appropriately sited, designed, coloured and landscaped to cause minimal environmental damage;
- A comprehensive plan for the network has been agreed with the Council which has regard to the location and type of facilities determined having regard to the need to minimise adverse impact on the environment.
Particular attention will be paid to the siting of all telecommunications development within or in close proximity to conservation areas, listed buildings, AONB, AGLV, SSSI’s, SNCI’s, open countryside and where development may affect the amenities of occupiers of nearby properties.
