We welcome the supplementary guidance contained in Section 5.4.1 providing design and sitting advice for telecommunications development, we find this guidance to be generally in accordance with that contained in PPG8 and therefore support its inclusion within the SPD refresh.
We write to your planning authority on behalf of the Mobile Operators Association (MOA) which consists of :-
Hutchison 3G UK Limited ('3')
O2 (UK) Limited (O'2')
Orange PCS Limited ('Orange')
T-Mobile UK Limited ('T-Mobile') and
Vodafone Limited ('Vodafone')
The MOA monitors all emerging development plan policies and supplementary planning guidance that relate to telecommunications development and those which would have an impact on their member's agreements to supply a mobile telecommunications service in the UK. Mono Consultants undertake this project on behalf of the MOA.

Page 99. Satellite dishes.
The text does not say that dishes will not be allowed on the front elevations of houses in conservation areas. We expect the strengthened enforcement team to pay special attention to these, which are springing up in Leigh.
The Committee of the Leigh society welcome this draft Document.
It is clearly laid out, well designed and easy to read.
However, we feel it would be further improved if the sections in the Contents were labelled with page numbers for reference.
All in all this is a very welcome document and we commend the officers for their efforts.
