Environmental aspects
The installation of mobile telecommunication networks does not fall under Annexes I and II of the EU Directive 2011/92/EC. they are therefore not subject to mandatory Environmental Impact Assessment. Such mobile telecommunication networks have limited residual environmental effects, apart from the visual impact of base station towers and the Electro Magnetic Field (EMF) radiation. The impacts can generally be mitigated by appropriate construction and operation measures.
Nevertheless, the environmental details including the CO2 footprint (if needed) and the possible impacts on protected flora and fauna (Habitats 92/43/EEC and Birds 79/409/EEC Directives) will be assessed during the appraisal.
