Design Factors and Mitigation Solutions

Design factors such as structure height, width, material finish and orientation should be considered at application stage. Where disruption to television reception is likely, developers may need to incorporate a television relay system or cable system in agreement with broadcasting authorities.

Certain factors can be taken into account at the planning application stage, in particular the height and width of each face of the structure, the material and outside surface finish, and the orientations of the sides of the structure in relation to any local transmitter. If it is clear, by the nature of the development, that disruption to television reception will be a significant problem, the solution may be for the developer to incorporate a television relay (repeater) or cable system. In such a case the developer will need to consult with and obtain the agreement of the broadcasting authorities. Only in extreme cases where there is evidence that no practical remedy exists to overcome or otherwise mitigate
