EC4 - TELECOMMUNICATIONS
Our approach
We will promote the enhanced connectivity of the borough through supporting infrastructure for high speed broadband and telecommunications.
We will achieve this by
- Supporting improvements to infrastructure supporting electronic communications networks, including telecommunications and high speed broadband, where adverse impacts on surrounding environments and interference with other electrical equipment, air traffic services and other instrumentation is avoided, consistent with the NPPF; and
- Ensuring that development does not interfere with broadcast or telecommunications services, consistent with the NPPF.
We will expect development proposals to
- Consider the siting and appearance of the installation and any associated structures to minimise impacts on any host buildings and the visual amenity and context and character of the surrounding areas;
- Demonstrate that the possibility of utilizing existing installations or associated buildings has been explored; and
- Demonstrate that adverse impacts on heritage assets, conservation areas, archaeological sites, open spaces and Green Belt, areas of landscape importance and biodiversity are avoided.
