17A1

This paragraph applies where—

a

an operator (“the main operator”) keeps electronic communications apparatus installed under land,

b

the main operator is not a party to an agreement under Part 2 of this code in relation to the electronic communications apparatus, and

c

the electronic communications apparatus was installed before 29 December 2003.

2

If the conditions in sub-paragraphs (3), (4) and (6) are met, the main operator may—

a

upgrade the electronic communications apparatus, or

b

share the use of the electronic communications apparatus with another operator.

3

The first condition is that the upgrading or sharing has no adverse impact on the land.

4

The second condition is that the upgrading or sharing imposes no burden on any person with an interest in the land.

5

For the purposes of sub-paragraph (4) a burden includes anything that—

a

has an adverse effect on the person’s enjoyment of the land, or

b

causes loss, damage or expense to the person.

6

The third condition is that, before the beginning of the period of 21 days ending with the day on which the main operator begins to upgrade the electronic communications apparatus or (as the case may be) share its use, the main operator attaches a notice, in a secure and durable manner, to a conspicuous object on the relevant land.

7

A notice attached for the purposes of sub-paragraph (6) must—

a

be attached in a position where it is reasonably legible,

b

state that the main operator intends to upgrade the electronic communications apparatus or (as the case may be) share its use with another operator,

c

state the date on which the main operator intends to begin to upgrade the electronic communications apparatus or (as the case may be) share its use with another operator,

d

state, in a case where the main operator intends to share the use of the electronic communications apparatus with another operator, the name of the other operator, and

e

give the name of the main operator and an address in the United Kingdom at which the main operator may be contacted about the upgrading or sharing.

8

Any person giving a notice at that address in respect of that electronic communications apparatus is to be treated as having been given that address for the purposes of paragraph 91(2).

9

Nothing in this paragraph is to be read as conferring a right on the main operator to enter the land for the purpose of upgrading or sharing the use of the electronic communications apparatus.

10

References in this paragraph to sharing electronic communications apparatus include carrying out works to the electronic communications apparatus to enable such sharing to take place.

11

In this paragraph “the relevant land” means—

a

in a case where the main operator has a right to enter the land under which the electronic communications apparatus is installed, that land;

b

in any other case, the land on which works will be carried out to enable the upgrading or sharing to take place or, where there is more than one set of works, the land on which each set of works will be carried out.
