Mast Regulations & Permitted Development
Permitted Development (prior approval for larger structures)
Standard permitted development rights apply. Most telecoms installations can proceed with prior approval notification rather than full planning permission.
Ground-Based Masts
Up to 30m permitted under Part 16 GPDO 2015 (as amended April 2022)
Prior ApprovalBuilding-Mounted Equipment
Antennas up to 6m above the building are permitted development
Permitted DevelopmentSmall Cells & Street Furniture
Equipment on existing structures (lamp posts, bus shelters) up to 2.5m
Permitted DevelopmentElectronic Communications Code
Operators with ECC rights can negotiate access to land/buildings for equipment installation
Statutory Right (with Code powers)Building Age Profile & Indoor Signal Loss

3G Sunset Impact Assessment
3G has been largely phased out. Ensure all devices support 4G VoLTE minimum.
Vodafone
Completed (June 2024)
3G network fully shut down. Only 4G and 5G services active.
EE
In Progress (March 2025)
3G shutdown rolling out by region. Some areas already completed.
Three
In Progress (Late 2025)
3G being phased out to reallocate spectrum to 4G/5G.
O2
Planned (2025-2026)
3G sunset confirmed but timeline varies by region.
Replace 3G-only devices before shutdown completion. Ensure VoLTE is enabled on your handset for voice calls over 4G.
Terrain & Signal Propagation
86/100 Excellent
Terrain: Elevated/Hilltop
Terrain favourable for signal propagation - good coverage expected
Satellite Broadband Alternatives
Terrestrial broadband likely sufficient, but satellite is a viable backup option

Electromagnetic Interference Sources
Overall Risk: Moderate
High Voltage Power Lines (0.3km) - HV lines within 500m can cause interference on lower frequencies
Railway Electrification (1.1km) - 25kV AC overhead lines produce harmonics that can affect nearby equipment
