Medical implants and 5G planning decisions
🔥 Cheltenham Borough Council’s appeal has been dismissed in a new ruling.
The Council appealed against the 2024 court decision that said “the authorities failure to address potential impacts on medical implants was an error, as EMFs could interfere with the function of such implants.” https://www.casemine.com/judgement/uk/663a735283075d3d98341c7b

[2025] EWCA Civ 259
‘Mr Thomas complained that the Council’s Planning Officer, whose report (“the OR”) and recommendation were adopted by the Council, had failed to address specific concerns raised by Mr Thomas and by another person about the effect of exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (“EMFs”) on medical implants such as pacemakers and hearing aids.’
“CONCLUSION
📌 39. For those reasons, I consider that the Judge was right to identify that the Planning Officer fell into error.”
For those reasons, I would dismiss this appeal.
