(b)in the case of the alteration or replacement of apparatus already installed (other than on a building or other structure), the apparatus, excluding any antenna, would when altered or replaced exceed the height of the existing apparatus or a height of 15 metres above ground level, whichever is the greater;
(c)in the case of the installation, alteration or replacement of apparatus on a building or other structure, the height of the apparatus (taken by itself) would exceed—
(i)15 metres, where it is installed, or is to be installed, on a building or other structure which is 30 metres or more in height; or
(ii)10 metres in any other case;
(d)in the case of the installation, alteration or replacement of apparatus on a building or other structure, the highest part of the apparatus when installed, altered or replaced would exceed the height of the highest part of the building or structure by more than—
(i)10 metres, in the case of a building or structure which is 30 metres or more in height;
(ii)8 metres, in the case of a building or structure which is more than 15 metres but less than 30 metres in height;
(iii)6 metres in any other case;
[F1(dd)in the case of the installation, alteration or replacement of apparatus (other than an antenna) on a mast, the height of the mast would, when the apparatus was installed, altered or replaced, exceed any relevant height limit specified in respect of apparatus in paragraphs A.1 (a), (b), (c) and (d), and for the purposes of applying the limit specified in sub-paragraph (c), the words “(taken by itself)” shall be omitted;]

(f)in the case of the installation, alteration or replacement of an antenna on a building or structure (other than a mast) which is less than 15 metres in height; on a mast located on such a building or structure; or, where the antenna is to be located below a height of 15 metres above ground level, on a building or structure (other than a mast) which is 15 metres or more in height—
(i)the antenna is to be located on a wall or roof slope facing a highway which is within 20 metres of the building or structure on which the antenna is to be located;
(ii)in the case of dish antennas, the size of any dish would exceed 0.9 metres or the aggregate size of all of the dishes [F2on the building, structure or mast] would exceed 1.5 metres, when measured in any dimension;
(iii)in the case of antennas other than dish antennas, the development [F3(other than the installation, alteration or replacement of one small antenna)] would result in the presence on the building or structure of more than two antenna systems; or
(iv)the building or structure is a listed building or a scheduled monument;
(g)in the case of the installation, alteration or replacement of an antenna on a building or structure (other than a mast) which is 15 metres or more in height, or on a mast located on such a building or structure, where the antenna is located at a height of 15 metres or above, measured from ground level—
(i)in the case of dish antennas, the size of any dish would exceed 1.3 metres or the aggregate size of all of the dishes [F4on the building, structure or mast] would exceed 3.5 metres, when measured in any dimension;
(ii)in the case of antenna systems other than dish antennas, the development [F5(other than the installation, alteration or replacement of a maximum of two small antennas)] would result in the presence on the building or structure of more than three antenna systems; or
