MOBILE TELEPHONE MASTS
Early day motion 790, tabled 3 February 2010 by Edward Timpson (Conservative). Signed by 58 members.
That this House recognises the high level of concern in many communities regarding the planning of mobile telephone masts; believes that the current planning system is inadequate; and calls on the Government to bring all mobile telephone mast proposals under strict planning control, to include extensive consultation with local residents within that control system, to bring the precautionary principle into planning, and to give extra safeguards to schools, homes and medical facilities.
