Planning For Mobile Communications
EDM number 168 in 2004-05, proposed by Phil Willis on 24/11/2004.
That this House acknowledges the benefits that mobile communications bring; but recognises the high level of concern in many communities regarding mobile phone masts particularly near schools; welcomes the independent report published by the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Mobile Communications following submissions of written and oral evidence from key stakeholders; calls on the Government to implement in full the 19 recommendations made in the Report, in particular the recommendations previously made by Sir William Stewart that permitted development rights to be revoked for the erection of all base stations; and in order to increase confidence in the planning system calls on the government to revise PPG8 and to make a statement about improved consultation on pre-development and pre-application proposals for telecommunications installations.
This motion has been signed by a total of 78 MPs.
