Surveyors and phone masts
Abstract
This paper considers some of the issues that may arise for property owners who are considering permitting, or already have permitted, mobile phone masts and other electronic communications equipment on their premises. The paper looks at a number of issues likely to be of importance to property owners including the nature of telecommunications agreements and the proliferation of electronic communications equipment. Specifically of interest to those property owners with potential development sites, the paper considers security of tenure under various statutes and the processes by which electronic communications equipment can be removed from properties.
