ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

There are many additional elements associated with having a telecoms base station on your land or building. Wayleaves are another form of Code Agreements but many land owners simply sign the standard template that is sent to them. Does it give the operator carte blanche over your land?

What the operator offers to you in Heads of Terms and even legal correspondence is usually very heavily geared in their favour and may not reflect the latest amendments to the Code. Especially when it comes to consideration (rent) and compensation.

The Electronic Communications Code has been described as complex and poorly drafted. Operators are continually referring matters to the Upper Lands Tribunal. We recommend that you seek appropriate specialist advice.
