Stunell continues battle for change to Mobile Phone Mast Law10.44.33am UTC (GMT +0000) Tue 6th Sep 2005
Andrew Stunell MP has taken the fight to bring mobile phone masts under tighter planning controls down to Westminster for the second time in a year. His first try was a Bill to bring mobile phone masts under strict planning control and introduce the 'precautionary principle', giving extra safeguards for schools, homes, and medical facilities from the risk of excessive radiation. Hazel Grove MP, Andrew Stunell said: "My original Telecommunications Masts (Planning Control) Bill ran out of time when the General Election was called, so I am delighted to have the opportunity to back a new Bill that will do exactly what I first planned. "The new Bill will allow planning authorities to take account of health concerns and will require the industry to produce more evidence about the radiation emitted, and to justify the need for each mast. "It is easier to get planning permission for a mast than it is for a porch. This is an alarming situation and needs to be addressed." Mr Stunell added: "I will continue pressing the government to change the law to give greater protection to our local community."
