Can I object to a mobile phone mast because of concerns over health impact?
The Government is clear in its approach to this matter, and continues to stress that the planning system is not the place for determining or implementing health safeguards… The Government does require however that applications for such installations should be accompanied with a certificate to show that the installation would comply with the guidelines set out by the International Commission for Non-Ionising Radiation Protection (ICNIRP). Should this certificate be provided, then national policy indicates that it should not be necessary for local planning authorities to consider health matters further.
