Do I need to read the planning booklet?
The importance of obtaining the booklet and following the steps set out cannot by overestimated. Feedback obtained at rallies and exhibitions suggests that most amateurs who do this, and have a reasonable expectation of what they want to put up, get permission or otherwise get the aerials they want.
The booklet is reviewed and updated annually—the Committee welcomes suggestions as to how it might be improved.
The advice contained within the RSGB planning booklet is just one of the many benefits of membership.
