HC Deb 02 March 2004 vol 418 c863W
Lady Hermon

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how many mobile telephone masts there are in each Northern Ireland constituency; and what the equivalent figures were for each year since 2000. [156939]

Angela Smith

Unfortunately, Planning Service is unable to provide the information of the number of mobile telephone masts in the format requested.

This is because Planning Services computer system does not distinguish between constituencies, its records are categorised by Divisional Planning Office and Council Area. Additionally, although Planning Service has a record of applications for telecommunication equipment, which have been approved, once an application has been approved, we cannot advise if the mast has been erected or activated.

Lady Hermon

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how many applications there have been to construct mobile telephone masts in Northern Ireland in each year since 2000; how many of these applications have been(a) granted and (b) refused; and what the reason for refusal was in each case. [156944]
