SCHEDULE 2Permitted development rights

PART 16Communications

Class A – electronic communications code operators

Development not permitted: building-based apparatus

(2)

Development is not permitted by Class A(a) if—

(a)

in the case of the installation, alteration or replacement of apparatus on a building or other structure, the height of the apparatus (taken by itself) would exceed—

(i)

15 metres, where it is installed, or is to be installed, on a building or other structure which is 30 metres or more in height; or

(ii)

10 metres in any other case;

(b)

in the case of the installation, alteration or replacement of apparatus on a building or other structure, the highest part of the apparatus when installed, altered or replaced would exceed the height of the highest part of the building or structure by more than—

(i)

10 metres, in the case of a building or structure which is 30 metres or more in height;

(ii)

8 metres, in the case of a building or structure which is more than 15 metres but less than 30 metres in height; or

(iii)

6 metres in any other case;

(c)

in the case of the installation, alteration or replacement of an antenna on a building or structure (other than a mast) which is less than 15 metres in height; on a mast located on such a building or structure; or, where the antenna is to be located below a height of 15 metres above ground level, on a building or structure (other than a mast) which is 15 metres or more in height—

(i)

the antenna is to be located on a wall or roof slope facing a highway which is within 20 metres of the building or structure on which the antenna is to be located;

(ii)

in the case of dish antennas, the size of any dish would exceed 0.9 metres or the aggregate size of all of the dishes on the building, structure or mast would exceed 4.5 metres, when measured in any dimension;

(iii)

in the case of antennas other than dish antennas, the development (other than the installation, alteration or replacement of 1 small antenna or a maximum of 2 small cell antennas) would result in the presence on the building or structure of—

(aa)

more than 3 antenna systems; or

(bb)

any antenna system operated by more than 3 electronic communications code operators; or

(iv)

the building or structure is a listed building or a scheduled monument; or

(d)

in the case of the installation, alteration or replacement of an antenna on a building or structure (other than a mast) which is 15 metres or more in height, or on a mast located on such a building or structure, where the antenna is located at a height of 15 metres or above, measured from ground level—

(i)

in the case of dish antennas, the size of any dish would exceed 1.3 metres or the aggregate size of all of the dishes on the building, structure or mast would exceed 10 metres, when measured in any dimension;

(ii)

in the case of antennas other than dish antennas, the development (other than the installation, alteration or replacement of a maximum of 2 small antennas or 2 small cell antennas) would result in the presence on the building or structure of—

(aa)

more than 5 antenna systems; or

(bb)

any antenna system operated by more than 3 electronic communications code operators; or

(iii)

the building or structure is a listed building or a scheduled monument.
