I am grateful to the Minister for giving way, because he is trying to get a lot into a short time, but the general permitted development rights cause a problem. Although councils may be consulted, they cannot refuse masts that come within that ambit unless they go through the cumbersome process of getting an article 4 direction. If that is refused, they have to pay compensation. That is a very cumbersome mechanism, and the Government need to look into it.

Both the Stewart Report and the All Party Parliamentary
Mobile Group recommended that permitted development rights should be revoked. This fell on deaf ears as
usual.
