Tecommunications Planning Policy and Practice

This section of the website has been drawn up with telecommunications development in mind. It is not intended to provide a comprehensive assessment of all telecommunications issues but to provide a helpful guide to planning law and practice in England. The topics covered can be reached via the links to the right of this page.

Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have their own planning policies which, whilst similar in many respects to that in England, also have a number of differences. Information on those policies is set out in:

Wales Planning Policy

Northern Ireland Planning Policy
