Environmental Issues - Impact of Telecommunications Development
Growing concern exists about the environmental impact of telecommunications equipment, including siting on buildings near homes, roof-top installations, and prominent structures in rural areas.
The significant increase in telecommunications development witnessed in recent years has resulted in growing concern about its impact on the environment. This has often been expressed by those who have found equipment erected on land or buildings near their homes, but has also arisen due to the multiplicity and layout of equipment at certain roof-top locations and the introduction of prominent new structures into rural areas.
