Legal win for a mast objector in Cheltenham
Planning authorities must assess the impacts of radiation on metal implants and pacemakers

Jun 10, 2024
‘Currently, if you object to a proposed 5G mast installation to your Local Planning Authority, citing the adverse health effects of electromagnetic fields (EMFs), your comments will be “duly noted”. In effect, this means they will not be taken into account by the planning officer making the decision, even though there may be 60 or more objections and hardly any supporting comments. This could be about to change, due to the hard work put in by Steven Thomas (representing himself) in a judicial review against Cheltenham Council, after which Judge Jarman ruled partly in his favour.’
