This petition was submitted during the 2019-2024 parliament
Rejected petition Amend permitted development legislation introduced in 2015
Require installations in the public realm to go through the local planning process. Companies to demonstrate need and benefit. Consideration given to property owner interests before installation rather than retrospectively.
More details
Companies are installing unnecessary infrastructure in the public realm to deliver broadband internet services to areas already well served by an established network of underground cabling. Amending permitted development legislation will help to target public and private resources to those areas most in need, helping to deliver policies including Levelling Up more effectively. It will reduce the risk posed by unnecessary, additional street clutter to the visually impaired and wider community.
