Complete this checklist and submit it with your application
The prior approval procedure applies to:
- the alteration or replacement of a mast up to and including 25 metres in height above ground level, unless on highway land where the maximum height is 20 metres
- a public call box
- radio equipment housing with a volume of 2.5 cubic metre
Where a mast fits into one of the above categories, a mobile phone operator will submit a notification for 'prior approval'. We then have 56 days to let them know whether we permit or refuse the approval, but we may only consider the appropriateness of the location and appearance of any antenna or supporting apparatus, radio equipment housing or development ancillary to radio equipment housing constructed and the siting and appearance of a mast which has been altered or replace of the mast. We cannot object to the principle of a mast.
For guidance please refer to the make sure you have everything you need for an application page on our website.
You will need to submit this completed checklist with your application. It will not be accepted without it.
