Why it was refused
- The submitted ICNIRP certificate does not adequately demonstrate that the proposed telecommunications mast would be in compliance with the ICNIRP emissions guidelines. The proposal is therefore contrary to paragraph 122 of the NPPF in that the application does not adequately self-certify that health implications have been adequately addressed.
From the council's decision notice.
