CF14 Telecommunications

Telecommunications development will be permitted subject to:

  1. the applicant for a new mast showing evidence that sharing existing masts and sites, buildings and structures have been explored and found to be unsuitable due to legal, technical or environmental reasons; and
  2. the site being the best available in environmental terms within technical and legal constraints and mitigation measures have been taken to minimise visual intrusion/environmental impact and amenity considerations; and
  3. new high masts being of a design that allows the sharing of aerial space with other operators at critical sites.
