Dear Mr Lamb

Thank you for your email of 27^th January 2023 where you requested
information about the 5G telecommunications installation in Sale Moor
allowed under appeal.

The information you requested is enclosed.  

1. Planning application reference 105704/TEL/21 was allowed under appeal
for the same site as submitted with the original refused application. 
Details of the location are available to inspect via the [1]Trafford
website, please use the application reference number to access the
documents.  If you are aware of an installation being made near the site
in question that does not appear to have permission you should contact our
Planning Enforcement team in order for them to investigate, please use the
following contact details [2][email address].
Neighbouring properties were consulted on the original application and a
site notice was also placed at the location.  The same neighbouring
properties were also notified of the appeal process,

The appeal statement (which is available to inspect using the link given
above) includes the following statements which respond to the first part
of your question relating to the environmental and health impact analysis
for the installation.

“The provisions of the GPDO require the local planning authority to assess
the proposed development solely on the basis of its siting and appearance,
taking into account any representations received. My determination of this
appeal has been made on the same basis.” “Concerns have been raised by a
local resident about potential effects of the proposal on health. However,
the appellant has provided a certificate to confirm that the proposal has
been designed to comply with the guidelines published by the International
Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP). In these
circumstances, the Framework advises that health safeguards are not
something which a decision-maker should determine. No sufficiently
authoritative evidence has been provided to indicate that the ICNIRP
guidelines would not be complied with or that a departure from national
policy would be justified.”

2. Information not held.

3. Information on the Council’s senior staffing structure can be found on
the Council’s website.

the right to apply directly to the Information Commissioner for a
decision. The Information Commissioner can be contacted at: Information
Commissioner’s Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9
