Infrastructure Policy 3
Policy requires balancing need for communications infrastructure against environmental impact, presuming against visually intrusive masts in sensitive landscapes and encouraging mast sharing or removal of redundant equipment. Exceptions allowed for strategic national need not achievable otherwise. Officer noted this serves emergency services, not residential/business demand, with small-scale attachments on existing civic building having no adverse visual or environmental effects, thus satisfying the policy.
Time limit
The development hereby approved shall be begun before the expiration of four years from the date of this decision notice. Reason: To comply with article 14 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) (No2) Order 2013 and to avoid the accumulation of unimplemented planning approvals.
Removal if no longer required
If the antennae and aerials hereby approved are no longer required or used, they must be removed from the building and any external fabric made good. Reason: the apparatus is being approved as it is needed in association with the provision of emergency services.
