The EM Radiation Research Trust is currently supporting concerned citizens in Birmingham to object against a phone mast that was overturned by the Planning Inspectorate and has now gone up despite objections from residents, Preet Gill MP, and Birmingham City Council. The decision may even be unlawful due to the Planning Inspectorate accepting an ICNIRP certificate containing details of a company that no longer exists. We have called for a full investigation. The Planning Inspectorate responded on 20th November saying they will investigate the EM Radiation Research Trust (RRT) complaint in accordance with Complaints Procedures. Birmingham City Council are also investigating the RRT complaint which is at stage one. This matter has also been reported to the police.
Please read the collection of letters of complaint sent to the Planning Inspectorate, Preet Gill MP and Ministers responsible for the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities sent on behalf of the EM Radiation Research Trust dated 8th, 9th and 15th November: https://www.radiationresearch.org/news/em-radiation-research-trust-calls-for-5g-on-war-lane-harborne-birmingham-to-cease-and-desist/
Preet Gill MP thankfully sent a letter to the Secretary of State regarding the phone mast on War Lane, Harborne, Birmingham calling for the Local Authorities to have more power in the planning process. Tweet by Preet Kaur Gill MP: “Many constituents have contacted me about a 20m 5G mast in War Lane, Harborne. They objected, I objected, and the Council rejected the application. But the mast has gone up regardless. I asked the Govt why LAs don’t have powers to decide where these masts are placed ” https://twitter.com/PreetKGillMP/status/1727718347771392268
We are facing a similar situation in Waterloo with residents objecting against the 5G mast application and the local council refusing planning permission. We call on the Planning Inspectorate to take objections from residents and the local authority into high priority when considering the appeal by industry calling for the Inspectorate to overturn Sefton council’s decision to reject the 5G mast application.
