[UK-CONTEST] MOBILE TOWER

I had a problem in my current QTH where the local council would not allow me 
to have a mast without planning permission and as I'm moving to CT later 
this year I did not want to have to do this just to get a mast in air!  It 
was suggested by the council (Derbyshire) that if I had a mobile or portable 
type mast it would fall outside his remit and would be okay to use as long 
as it was not up for months at time!
I purchased a heavy duty Spiderbeam mast with stand which I put up and leave 
up for up to 6 weeks at a time then take it down for a couple of days and 
then put it back again!  The local council first approached me within days 
of me getting it in the air but their first question to me was had I taken 
their advice and was it mobile/portable to which I replied yes its portable. 
The response back was that they were happy and that this was outside of 
their remit and that they would inform the person who had raised the 
"complaint" regarding my previous masts that there was nothing that could be 
done to prevent me from using this type of mast, so how pleased was I Hi!

Good luck I hope yours turns out okay

Mobile tower does it get round the planning minefield or do you still need 
to get planning
permission.
