[UK-CONTEST] Help - planning conditions needed

[Graeme Caselton]

In the case of my planning permission [some 20 years ago with Bromley
council], I had to agree with the condition that I would not use the
mast for 'commercial purposes', such as running a mini-cab firm. They
also stated that the permission was granted to me and not to the
house; if I move, the new owner, if so inclined, would have to
reapply.

These days I suspect that neighbours would be anti with a view to it
being a 'mobile phone mast'. 

Good luck!
