Nevertheless it is known that operators often run into issues when seeking planning permission for new masts (e.g. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2019\/04\/local-opposition-making-uk-5g-upgrades-to-4g-masts-difficult.html\">objections by locals<\/a>) but tackling such things is rarely easy (nobody wants to create a public backlash).<\/p>\n<p>Last year&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2018\/07\/gov-detail-major-changes-to-boost-uk-full-fibre-broadband-and-5g.html\"><strong>Future Telecoms Infrastructure Review<\/strong><\/a> (FTIR) made a number of proposals to support mobile coverage (e.g. reviewing the recently revised Electronic Communications Code (EEC), changing planning regulations and opening Government infrastructure up for use by operators etc.).<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>Hamish MacLeod, Director of Mobile UK, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Getting the planning system right for future 5G and today\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/4g\">4G<\/a> networks is critical to ensure the UK continues to lead the world in digital connectivity.
