I’m not sure you will find 'conclusive evidence'; you will have to make a decision on the information available and I would suggest the best starting point is the Stewart Report:

The NRPB website is also useful. They have recently reorganised their site and the specific info on base stations does not seem to be their anymore. However, worth a look:

http://www.nrpb.org.uk/

There is lots of information on radiation intensity in the vicinity of a mast and installers should provide information on beam characteristics (where the ‘beam’ reaches the ground etc). I seem to recall that when the NRPB carried out surveys of schools they found higher levels in some schools without a mast than in some with one.

The NRPB website is particularly useful, and they do some free leaflets which you can order online.
There was a recent article on new research into this in "Health and Safety at Work" Magazine.

I understood that the closer you are to the mast the lower the radiation from your handset.

I wonder what poses the greater risk?

Yes Delilah, the closer you are to a mast the less powerful is your handsets signal to connect to it, therefore lowering the radiation passing through your body!
