245 _aPlanning law and public perceptions of risk: evidence of concern or concern based on evidence?
260 _c2004
490 _aJournal of Planning and Environment Law
_vDecember 2004, 1638-1648(11)
520 _aDiscusses the conflict in planning law between those who believe that planning consent should be granted on a rational and objective basis and others who feel that public perceptions of risk, even though there is no scientific evidence of the existence of a risk, should be taken into consideration in a democratic society. Examples of the latter view can be seen in instances where local residents oppose plans for the construction of phone masts due to perceived conception of a risk to public health. Refers to case law throughout to highlight conflicting points of view.
