Telecommunications
Modern telecommunications helps support the economy of Perth and
Kinross to our benefit.
What are the benefits of modern telecommunications?
At its simplest, a modern communications network
can help to reduce the need to travel and it allows the
relatively remote parts of Perth and Kinross to be accessible to
the wider world.
Comprehensive coverage by telecommunications networks is also an
aid to inward investment. The ability of local businesses and
services to provide more responsive and flexible services also
benefits local communities.
In addition telecommunications is an increasingly important
sector of the economy in its own right.
What is the purpose of the guidance?
The purpose of the guidance note and related policy is to enable
the telecommunications industry to expand and diversify, but not at
the cost of the built and natural environment.
The Telecommunications Policy will be
used when we make decisions on planning applications and
will be incorporated within Local Plans as they are
renewed.
