Internal & external installation of a 5G Mast inside Mayfield Church Spire

Following on from our recent AGM, the CPA are delighted to advise residents that our Appeal against the case presented to the DPEA (Department for Planning & Environment Appeals) has been upheld, and fully supported by a report submitted by an External Reporter appointed by the DPEA.
The Appellant (A major Mobile Company) now have six weeks to lodge a further appeal, but that involves presenting it to the Court of Session. Having had two local Council Appeals turned down and now with the DPEA’s rejection, it is hoped that we can continue to enjoy the magnificent features of this landmark building without further anxiety.

Scottish Government’s review of Permitted Development Rights

The Scottish Government is carrying out a review of permitted development rights (PDR) as part of their wider planning reform programme. PDR provide flexibility to carry out certain types of development without a planning application having to be submitted to – and approved by – the relevant planning authority. Part of Phase 3 review focuses on domestic renewables including renewable energy equipment and replacing windows.

As part of this process, the Scottish Government launched a public consultation in summer this year. The consultation is now finished but you can find information on the proposed changes in the below link:
