Consultation Process for Potential Interference

In cases where evidence is submitted that undue interference is likely to occur as a result of development the Department will consult with the Radiocommunications Agency and the broadcasters or fixed-link operators before reaching a decision, to ascertain whether an engineering solution to the problem of interference in any particular case is feasible. Where potential interference is causing genuine local concern, the Department may also seek the help of these experts to assess the likelihood and degree of interference (see Annex B).
