Wyre Forest District Council
Annual Rollout Plans Meeting
7th March 2007
How does the network
operate?
• Mobile phones are
low powered radio
sets
•
How does the network
operate?
• Radio base stations
receive and transmit
their signals
How does the network
operate?
• Each base station
can support only a
limited number of
users
How does the network
operate?
• Customer demand
dictates the number
and location of base
stations
How does the network
operate?
• Without a network of
base stations mobile
phones will not work
•
Why are more sites required?
• There is an ongoing need to improve the
capacity in areas of high usage
Why are more sites required?
• There is an ongoing need to improve the
capacity in areas of high usage
• There is ongoing need to provide improved
coverage for 2nd and 3rd generation
Why are more sites required?
• There is an ongoing need to improve the
capacity in areas of high usage
• There is ongoing need to provide improved
coverage for 2nd and 3rd generation
• 2nd and 3rd generation systems will run in
tandem for the foreseeable future
Why are more sites required?
•Operator will endeavour in the first instance
to upgrade existing sites, however, there
may also be requirement for additional
sites
Site Selection
• The more sites available for consideration the
greater the likelihood of achieving a balance
between environmental impact, technical
requirements and community expectation
Site Selection
• The more sites available for consideration the
greater the likelihood of achieving a balance
between environmental impact, technical
requirements and community expectation
• Local Authority owned land is often well suited
to telecoms.
Site Selection
• The more sites available for consideration the
greater the likelihood of achieving a balance
between environmental impact, technical
requirements and community expectation
• Local Authority owned land is often well suited
to telecoms.
• By restricting the number of potential sites
available an operator may select a more
contentious site or require additional sites to
meet the coverage/capacity need.
Role of the Council as a Site
Provider
Planning Policy Guidance
‘Authorities are encouraged to help
applicants identify existing and potential
sites by making suitable local authority
owned property available to users’

What are annual rollout plans?
• Since 2001 the operators have
provided details of their proposed
network rollout plans to each LPA in
the UK during September/October
What are annual rollout plans?
• Since 2001 the operators have
provided details of their proposed
network rollout plans to each LPA in
the UK during September/October
• All five operators rollout plans are
issued jointly and by email from one
source
What are annual rollout plans?
• The rollout plans provided details of
each operators existing sites and
details of those they anticipate
requiring within the next twelve
months

Annual Rollout Discussions
‘Provide a valuable opportunity for operators to
share information with local authorities about
their rollout plans for the forthcoming year and
for local authorities to provide feedback and
general advice to the operators to help guide their
thinking and plans.
The idea is to provide a strategic overview rather
than detailed analysis and advice, which can be
given at the pre-application state.’
Code of Best Practice
(Paragraph 15)
Annual Rollout Discussions
‘For authorities, they provide an opportunity to
guide and influence operators and also to
establish at an early stage whether there are any
workload implications resulting from the likely
level of telecommunications development
planned for the area of the coming year. The
composite information provided by the operators
may also be useful in helping local authorities to
look at the feasibility of matching operators’
requirements with Council owned sites/buildings.’

Health Update
•A jointly funded Government and industry
£7.4 million UK research programme was set
up following the Stewart Report on 2001, and
is due to report later this year

Planning Policy Guidance
“It is the Government’s firm view that the planning
system is not the place for determining health
safeguards. It remains central Government’s
responsibility to decide what measures are
necessary to protect public health. In the
Government’s view, if a proposed mobile phone
base station meets the ICNIRP guidelines for
public exposure it should not be necessary for a
LPA, in processing an application for planning
permission or prior approval, to consider further
the health aspects and concerns about them.”
(Section 30)
PPG8 - August 2001
WHO Fact sheet 2006
The Fact sheet published in May 2006
concludes:
“Considering the very low exposure levels
and research results collected to date, there
is no convincing scientific evidence that the
weak RF signals from base stations and
wireless networks cause adverse health
effects.”
Summary
•With over 65 million mobile phones in use in
the UK there is a continuing demand by the
public for increased mobile services including
data transfer using 3rd generation technology

•All mobile services require a network of base
stations to transmit and receive radio signals

• Working closely with local authorities will
help the operators to achieve the right
balance between the need for base stations
and their environmental responsibility
