5G mast planned to be 50m from my home

[Grumpy Grapes]

Has anyone heard of any successful attempts to oppose 5G masts? I've got 2 weeks to muster a response to my council about the 20m tower planned to be quite close to me.

[Anti Facts Sir]

50m is way too close. You'd be better off looking for somewhere else to live. Seriously. You don't want that thing anywhere near you.

 

Council roll over. Don't waste time or energy on trying to stop what is probably a done deal already. They agree these things before they even go up for "public consultation". I've seen the evidence.

I'm wondering if I could employ common law. After all, I have not contracted with those who want to put up the mast, as far as I know. I don't have a Vodafone contract, but maybe it's the government or local government who are the ones who ultimately have to be challenged.

Secretary of State is probably the only option, but they're all in with the telecom companies anyway. They are set in their approach and attitude to masts and what this shit does to people and any living thing on the planet. They only see £££ and control.

Barrie Trower spoke about regulations that can be used to sue the person whose land the mast is on. The government created the legislation to punt the legal risk off themselves and onto the private individuals who are hosting the mast on their own land. Basically you can sue them for the loss of value of your own property caused by having a mast nearby.

 

The legislation you can sue them under is:

 

The Control of Electromagnetic Fields at Work Regulations 2016

The information on this page will help you understand what you need to do as an employer under the CEMFAW Regulations (PDF) which came into force in July 2016. It may also be useful to others with responsibility for health and safety, ie employees and safety representatives.

What must you do?

An employer is required to:

• assess the levels of EMFs to which your employees may be exposed;
• ensure that exposure is below exposure limit values (ELVs);
• take action if employees are exposed to EMFs in excess of the ELVs;
• when appropriate, devise and implement an action plan to ensure compliance with the exposure limits;
• when appropriate, assess the risks of employee's exposure and eliminate or minimise those risks. Ensure you take employees at particular risk, such as expectant mothers and employees with active or passive implanted or body worn medical devices, into account.
• provide information and training on the particular risks (if any) posed to employees by EMFs in the workplace and details of any action you are taking to remove or control them. This information should also be made available to their safety representatives as appropriate; and
• provide health surveillance or medical examination as appropriate.

The CEMFAW Regulations contains a Schedule which introduces limits, explains the effects of EMFs and provides details of safety conditions which must be met. In addition they allow the sensory-effects ELVs to be exceeded when certain safety conditions stated in the Schedule to the Regulations are met.

Thank you for your help. I'm not optimistic as I'm in a very pro-5G town, but it's worth a try.
