SUPPLEMENTARY REPORT

TiGENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE Subject: Planning Application I C/05/01094/FUL: From: DIRECTOR OF PLANNING AND ENVIRONMENT Installation of 15M High Slimlinc Lattice Telecommunications Tower Incorporating 6No. Antennas with an Equipment Date: 16'h September 2005 Ref: CAM030/X/091 Cabin, Meter Cabinet and all Associated Ancillary Development. Central Motors, Main Street, Calderbank, Airdrie, ML6 9SJ

1. Purpose of Report

1.1 To present the Committee with additional information relating to planning application C/05/01094/FUL.

2. Background

2.1 An application report was presented to the Planning and Environment Committee at its meeting on 17'h August 2005. At that meeting it was agreed that the application should be continued for a site visit and hearing. Since the meeting on 17'h August further letters of representation have been received.

3. Sustainability Implications

3.1 The visual impact of the mast is minimal and should it become redundant in the future there is a recommended condition requiring removal of the equipment and reinstatement of the site.

4. ProposalslConsiderations

4.1 Since the preparation of the committee report by the Director of Planning and Environment in respect of the above, 174 further letters of representation have been received.

a) These further letters of representation were delivered to the Department between the 22"d August 2005 and 13'h September 2005. Of the 174 letters received 172 have been acknowledged, however 2 letters did not contain a return address. The letters consisted of 3 standard letters that were signed by individuals. For the purpose of this report I have summarised the contents of these letters as follows:

1. The spoiling of appearance of both built up areas and the countryside 2. Adverse effect on farm animals and disruption to the sense of direction of birds, insects and wild animals 3. Proximity of the North Calder Water nature trails 4. When Telecommunication Mast applications in close proximity to residential properties and the local primary school, are put forward to the planning committee, a precautionary principle should be applied with regard to health concerns and the application refused

4.2 In response to the above comments I would respond as follows:

C:\Documents and Settings\Shiachp\LocaI Settings\Temporary lnternet Files\OLK3C\R0501O94sup.doc e With regard to the issues above Nos 1 - 3, these matters have been addressed within the report (Paragraph 4.7, subparagraphs 2,4 and 10) e With regard to No 4 the required ICNIRP Declaration has been supplied stating that the proposal is in compliance with the international safety standards for electro-magnetic radiation emissions. It is accepted that there is significant public concern over the possible health risks associated with telecommunications apparatus and that public perception of health risks has been regarded as a material planning consideration in some cases. However, in this case, the site is considered to be sufficiently distant from residential properties and public view not to give rise for concern and the applicant has provided the necessary ICNIRP certificate. It is the department's view that health implications and concern over health implications are not sufficient to justify refusal of this planning application.

5. Corporate Considerations

5.1 There are no corporate considerations.

6. Recommendation

6.1 That planning application C/05/01094/FUL be granted on the basis of the recommendation within the attached report.
