Purpose and Scope of PPS 10 Telecommunications

This Planning Policy Statement, PPS 10 'Telecommunications', sets out the Department's planning policies for telecommunications development. It embodies the Government's commitment to facilitate the growth of new and existing telecommunications systems whilst keeping the environmental impact to a minimum. It also addresses health issues associated with telecommunications development. The PPS is therefore of direct relevance to the public, the telecommunications industry and others whose actions have a direct physical impact upon the natural or man-made environment including land owners, developers, government departments and agencies, district councils, other statutory undertakers and voluntary organisations.
