Set up alertsFrequently asked questions
How tall can a telecoms mast be without full planning permission?
Under Part 16 of the GPDO, masts up to 30m in unprotected areas (and up to 25m in conservation areas, AONBs and National Parks) can be installed via prior approval rather than full planning permission. The council can only refuse on siting and appearance grounds.
How do I comment on a mast application?
Submit comments to the council during the consultation period. The only material considerations are siting and appearance. Health concerns about 5G are not planning matters as radiation limits are set nationally by Ofcom and decided outside the planning system.
