The information requested is published in the e-planning register. This information is therefore exempt under section 25 of the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002, information otherwise accessible. For ease of reference the  e-planning search page can be found at  https://publicaccess.moray.gov.uk/eplanning/

Phone masts are stored under the application reference suffix 'PAMAST', 'FUL' and 'APP' which are searchable on the public e-planning system by using the advanced search, which allows you to filter the search using 'development type' box and searching only for telecommunications development. Similarly by refining your search to find key description keywords such as 'mast' 'pole' 'antenna' etc., each hit or result then allows the public to go to a map, giving the location and grid reference of the case file being viewed.
