(This note is not part of the Order) This Order amends Parts 1, 24 and 25 of Schedule 2 to the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 1995 ("the 1995 Order"). Those Parts confer permitted development rights in respect of certain telecommunications development, including the erection of satellite antennas. Where such rights apply, no specific application for planning permission is needed. Article 2 amends Part 1 of the 1995 Order (development within the curtilage of a dwellinghouse) as regards the size limit of a satellite antenna installed on or within the curtilage of a dwellinghouse (other than on a chimney) pursuant to permitted development rights. It applies throughout England and Wales a size limit for such an antenna of 90 centimetres (measured in any direction). Article 3 amends Part 24 of the 1995 Order (development by telecommunications code system operators). It disapplies permitted development rights in respect of the installation, alteration or replacement of apparatus on a mast where the height of the mast would, as a result of that installation, alteration or replacement, be increased above specified limits. It modifies existing exclusions from such rights to permit in certain circumstances the installation, alteration or replacement of small antennas on a building. A small antenna is defined in article 3(h) as an antenna which is used in connection with a telephone system operating on a point to fixed multi-point basis, and which does not exceed 50 centimetres in any linear measurement or have an area exceeding 1,591 square centimetres. Article 4 amends Part 25 of the 1995 Order (other telecommunications development) by raising the maximum size limit for satellite antennas on buildings or structures of a height of 15 metres or more to 1.3 metres. Minor incidental and consequential changes are also made to the Parts mentioned.
