@M0CUV I received a letter from the planners, many years ago when I operated amateur radio in a city.
I very politely wrote back to them explaining that my radio mast was a temporary installation for experimental purposes.
That was enough to make them go away.

@a2es @M0CUV I found my dads folder of stuff he'd sent to the planners and discussions with the RSGB etc to get it done. Still, it's trickier to claim that a 40ft tower cemented into the ground is temporary (ahem which may have been extended upto 60ft sometimes).
