Decision details

Decision Maker: Deputy Chief Executive (Corporate Services)

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Purpose:

On the 8 January 2019 TDC agreed to grant a Wayleave for a BT Cabinet and Joint Box adjacent to 15 Park Road, Clacton. A request has now been received from UKPNs for a Wayleave in order to run a 5m electricity cable underground through the Council's land to the new BT Cabinet.
We are advised this is part of a BDUK Government funded project to provide Superfast Fibre Broadband for the Local Community and Council Tenants.

Decision:

To grant the Wayleave Agreement as requested.

Alternative options considered:

To not grant the Wayleave, however we have already granted a Wayleave for the Cabinet and it would be rendered useless without an electricity connection. This land is not used for an other purpose and it would be detrimental to the residents of the area in obtaining a good broadband service.
