Telecoms equipment-advice to landowners

Introduction and overview

We provide legal advice and support on issues related to mobile phone masts and other types of telecommunications equipment situated on land - or planned to be.

How our telecoms law solicitors can help you

Key services offered

We provide clear and practical legal advice, interpreting the Electronic Communications Code which governs the relationship between landowners and telecoms operators.

Our telecoms specialists understand the industry and have a wealth of experience acting for landowners dealing with and resolving disputes against telecoms companies as well as acting for significant national property developers. We represent property investors and developers, landed estates, farm owners, charities, retail businesses and individuals.

We can help with:

  • resisting attempts by operators to put telecoms apparatus on private land
  • advising in relation to the removal of telecoms equipment, for example where a redevelopment is planned
  • drafting and negotiating new telecoms leases, agreements and wayleaves
  • telecoms lease renewals
  • advising about and interpreting provisions within existing code agreements and the applicable legislation
  • acting in court and tribunal applications and appeals
  • applying for or resisting planning applications
