Mobile Phone Masts
We recently reported the Council’s decision to lift their moratorium on the installation of masts on Council property. The Council have now held their annual roll out meeting with telecoms operators and it appears there is a slow down in their development programmes and many of the proposed new sites will not be brought forward in the foreseeable future.
The Council has recently added Telecommunications to the Planning section on their website. Apart from showing general information on telecommunications planning in Hillingdon it will show the existing operational sites, those with planning consent and future proposals.
Local Development Framework (UDP Replacement)
John attended a progress seminar at Civic Centre. The draft document is now in final stage and a further short public consultation is planned before presentation to Cabinet for approval.

Planning Reform Bill
The Bill is now before Parliament. Recent press reports indicate that following the consultation stage the Government is proposing to allow :
