There are no statutory exposure limits for static EMFs in the UK, and UK policy is expected to comply with the following guidance:


 International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1998 guidelines (which considers public exposure in relation to AC fields); and


 ICNIRP Guidelines for static magnetic fields (1994) (which includes occupational exposure and DC fields).

Therefore, this guidance is referred to in the consideration of the potential impacts of electro-magnetic fields.


22.4.1.3.1National Planning Policy The assessment of potential impacts upon land use and agriculture has been made


30.


with specific reference to the relevant National Policy Statements (NPS); the relevant NPS in relation to land use is the Overarching NPS for Energy (EN-1) (DECC 2011).


31. The specific assessment requirements for land use and agriculture, as detailed in the


NPS, are summarised in Table 22.4, together with an indication of the paragraph numbers of the PEIR Chapter where each is addressed. Where any part of the NPS has not been followed within the assessment, an explanation as to why the requirement was not deemed relevant, or has been met in another manner, is provided.
