Where can phone masts take root? - 2005 - Estates Gazette (0518) 7 May 2005, 144-145 (2) .

Discusses the issues of height, design and setting of telecoms masts that telecoms operators must address for their planning applications to be successful. Examines the three types of application: notification of a permitted development; permitted developments; and developments requiring planning consent. All application types must comply with the International Commission for Non-Ionising Radiation Protection's (ICNIRP) electronic magnetic field emission limits; and it is advisable to follow guidelines published by both ICNIRP and the National Radiological Protection Board on limits to exposure to radio waves. Tabulates the key factors involved in siting and appearance approval.
