The question
To ask the Scottish Executive whether it will provide definitive guidance to all Scottish local authorities on the siting of telecommunications masts, particularly the siting of those masts near primary schools and high rise flats and, if not, why not.
The answer
I intend to issue for consultation a draft national planning policy guideline and draft planning legislation on telecommunications development. A planning advice note containing information and advice on siting and design will be issued to accompany the final version of the new legislation and policy guidance.
