Telecommunications Permitted Development-Permitted Development England

The erection of telecommunication masts under Permitted Development is a complicated route which is not covered by this web site. Mobile phone operators used to enjoy quite a lot of freedom regarding these installations without needing formal Planning Approval. However, they now have to submit certain details but if the Council does not respond within certain time frames, Approval for the mast is deemed to have automatically been granted.
