Annual network
rollout plans

SThe operators’ annual network rollout plans have recently been distributed to every planning authority in the UK.

These plans provide an ideal opportunity at an early stage for local authorities to discuss the operators’ plans for the forthcoming year and to work together with the operators to find an optimum solution for mobile network development in their area.

The operators have been meeting their commitment to send rollout plans for the past 8 years and for the past 4 years the information has been submitted jointly and electronically through the MOA.

Contained within the rollout plan spreadsheets is
information relating to the operators’ existing sites and envisaged new proposals for the following 12 months.

It provides each local authority with a “look ahead” at the forthcoming mobile developments in their area.
Whilst every effort is made to ensure that the rollout
plan information is accurate and current, due to the
rapidly developing nature of the operators’ networks,
this information is subject to change over the course
of the year.

Local authorities may also find the rollout plan information useful to update or create their own mast register.

Planning officers are encouraged to share this information with their officer colleagues and with councillors or members of the public at their request or place it on their website.

For further information on the submission of the annual rollout plans in your area, or to find out how you can see a copy of the plans for your area, please contact the MOA on 020 7331 2015 or email info@ukmoa.orgy.
