Written Question · S4W-06975 · Session 4
Whether it will review the planning procedures for facilitating mobile telecommunications development.
The question
To ask the Scottish Executive whether it will review the planning procedures for facilitating mobile telecommunications development.
The answer
We have no plans at present to review the permitted development rights which exempt certain telecommunications development from the need for a planning application. We are engaged in a public consultation on proposed amendments to planning application procedures. Though not specific to telecommunications development, it includes an opportunity to comment on any aspect of these procedures. The consultation paper, Miscellaneous Amendments to the Modernised Planning System, can be viewed at:
