Environmental Statements
Developers are sometimes asked to comment on the environmental
issues of masts close to new-build sites. We are able to provide a
full environmental impact assessment for sites close to mobile phone
masts. Our consultant has a Master's Degree in Environmental Impact
Assessment and Management as well as being a qualified radio
systems engineer.
Advice on Planning Issues
Many potential development sites have existing mobile phone base
stations on them. ECS can advise on the issues surrounding getting
them moved. Clients include the Alexandra Hospital, Manchester and
Jakim Ltd.
Radiowave Exposure Levels
Some Local Authorities seek independent survey information from
developers on public exposure to radio waves. ECS can arrange
electromagnetic surveys to test for
ICNIRP compliance and comment authoritatively on planning issues
related to mast on on near development sites. Clients include
Enviros,
Fairview New Homes and several Local Authorities.
Planning for Telecommunications
ECS can provide independent advice to developers on the potential
for telecommunications operators using their buildings or property as
a mast site - and the potential pitfalls! Working with others we can
advise on how to maximise returns.
Television and Telecommunications Interference from New
Buildings
We provide guidance on how these potential problems can be
overcome. Clients include Sainsburys and several Local Authorities.
