Mast construction and planning

    I'm having issues securing a decent broadband connection and while I'm aware of Pat Rabbite's pledge of 30mbs broadband for everyone by 2016 I want to look at erecting a mast to mount a wireless receiver.

    I'm thinking I need to get to around 20/25 meters, I'm wondering first of all what the planning laws are around such masts/antennas and also does it matter if its not a permanent structure?

    I did contact the local council but they didn't seem too clear on it and advised I submit a written query but I'd like to get as much information as possible first.

    Cheers

    you can erect a wireless or television antenna on the roof of your house, provided it is less than 6m above the roof.

    PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS, 2001
    SCHEDULE 2
    Article 6
    PART 1
    Exempted Development — General

    CLASS 4
    (a) The erection of a wireless or
    television antenna, other than a satellite
    television signal receiving antenna, on the
    roof of a house.

    The height of the antenna above the roof
    of the house shall not exceed 6 metres.
