Telecommunications Supplementary Planning Document

The Telecommunications Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) was adopted by the Council on the 3 September 2007.

The SPD sets out guidance for developing telecommunications networks across the City. It aims to promote good practice and design for telecommunications equipment for new development. It seeks to balance environmental, visual, amenity and health concerns with the future development needs of the mobile technology networks.

A Sustainability Appraisal (SA) was published alongside the draft SPD. Details of this can be found on the Sustainability Appraisal web page.

Hard copies of the SPD are also available to purchase. Please contact us if you require further information.

Proposed and operational telecoms sites

Each year, the Mobile Operators' Association (MOA) provide the City Council with an indicative list of their proposed new sites for telecoms masts or antennae (the 'annual rollout'), which also includes existing operational sites.

A plot of these can be viewed on the LocalView map. You will need to select 'View Map Layers' then select from Telecommunication Masts on the list displayed.

Or you can enter your address details and use the 'Find the Nearest' tab, to find out where the nearest site is to your address.
