Telecommunications2.111 Modern telecommunications are an essential and beneficialelement in the life of the local community and in the national economy.The use of telecommunication technologies can enhance accessibilityto services and facilities for the less mobile within a community, and inparticular for those living in the more remote parts of Angus. It canalso contribute to reducing the need to travel through increasing theflexibility of working arrangements for some people.2.112 In seeking a balance between the Government’s desire toextend the economic and social benefits of moderntelecommunications technology and the protection of the natural andbuilt environment, changes to the planning legislation in 2001 broughtmost forms of telecommunication development within planning control.National Planning Policy Guideline 19 : Radio Telecommunications(July 2001) sets out guidance on how planning authorities should dealwith the requirements of the industry through planning policy. TheGuidance advises that in dealing with development proposals fortelecommunications installations, the main issues to be consideredare siting, design including scale and colour, visual impact andopportunities for the sharing of existing telecommunicationdevelopments.2.113 Angus Council Advice Note 26 provides supplementaryguidance in relation to the siting and design of telecommunicationsinstallations and indicates that the preferred locations for these is inindustrial areas away from any boundary with residential properties.Within the open countryside the Advice Note highlights the possibilityof utilising topographical features and concentrations of existingstructures such as masts, pylons and farm buildings to minimise thevisual impact of new installations. Development proposals will requireto demonstrate that the preferred options and suggestions set out inthe Advice Note have been fully explored.Policy SC45 : TelecommunicationsPlanning permission will be granted for telecommunicationsdevelopment where the following criteria are met:• there is an established operational need for the developmentin the location proposed;• there is no reasonable prospect of sharing existing facilitiesdue to operational or technical constraints;• in the case of radio masts there is no reasonable possibilityof erecting antennae on any existing building or otherstructure;• there are no more satisfactory alternative sites available;• the proposed development does not conflict with otherrelevant policies contained in the Local Plan.PAN 62 : RadioTelecommunicationsThe Scottish Executive iscommitted to securing worldclass telecommunicationsservices for Scotland whilesafeguarding our natural andbuilt environment.NPPG 19 : RadioTelecommunicationsThe siting and design oftelecommunications developmentare the key issues to beaddressed through the planningsystem.Angus Council Advice Note26: TelecommunicationsDevelopmentsBuilt-Up Areas: The mostpreferred locations fortelecommunications installationsis in industrial areas (includingrailway land, wastewatertreatment sites, landfill sites etc)away from any boundary withresidential properties. Businessand town centre locations(especially if mounted onbuildings) are also likely to begenerally acceptable subject totheir visual impact beingminimized particularly inconservation areas.Open Countryside: Siteselection in the countryside hasin the past been largely drivenby purely technical demands butoperators will now be expectedto give greater consideration tovisual impact alongside theirpractical requirements. It ispossible to find perfectlyacceptable rural locations bycarefully exploiting topographicalfeatures, for instance by utilizingland form to hide or partlyscreen a mast.It may be possible to utilizeconcentrations of existing rural“clutter” (e.g. existing masts orpylons, farm buildings (eg.silos)or other structures andbuildings) to accommodate newinstallations in a less visuallyintrusive mannerAny development should be sited and designed so as tominimise its visual impact, subject to technical and operationalconsiderations.Angus Local Plan Review54Finalised Plan
