This Order amends, in England, Class A of Part 24 of Schedule 2 to the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 1995 (S.I. 1995/418) (“the 1995 Order”). Class A sets out permitted development rights in relation to certain development by electronic communications code operators, with the effect that such development is granted planning permission without the need for a planning application. Class A often imposes limitations and conditions on the grant of planning permission. For example, some of the permissions do not apply on categories of land identified in article 1(5) of, and Part 2 of Schedule 1 to, the 1995 Order (National Parks, areas of outstanding natural beauty, conservation areas, countryside areas of natural beauty and amenity, the Broads, World Heritage Sites). Other permissions may be subject to the approval of the local planning authority on siting and appearance, a process referred to as “prior approval”.
