As we all know all the operators and now Net Rail are abusing the planning legislation and putting up masts and antennae without using the lawful local planning procedures. They do this through a number of loop holes - Masts erected in Churches without Local Authority planning permission
- Network Rail masts
- A.2(4)(b) loophole and Deminimus
- 56 Day - overdue refusals being ignored - separate case now underway
Campaigners through Planning Sanity are in the process of putting together a legal action to challenge all these issues. So far local groups have not been able to do this because of a lack of resources however as a class action this problem will not be an issue. The legal action will be taken forward with a number of named cases from each different category. However they need as many examples of situations where these loop holes have been used to help the case. Some of these additional cases will be named as supporting the action, others can remain anonymous. Its entirely up to each campaign or individual who joins in this. However the more there are the better the case so please consider joining in this so that finally this appalling and widespread situation can be resolved legally once and for all. Groups or individuals may not want to be part of the action at all however if you have experienced any of these loopholes them please send in your details so that they can help with putting the case together. Please ring the adviceline to register your interest and we will get someone to ring you as soon as possible.
