Have I look at the telecommunications act, from memory I dont think you need to seek permission to clear bt lines if I remember correctly. Might also depend on how much work/clearance you have gained

under highways act you have to give 28 days notice or get permission so you can do it before that .

I assume as this is used mainly as a H/S issue there's no way a phone line will have a less lead time on it

I am no expert in this area but surly there is some sort of law that if utilities are running or required over someones land then that would be on the side of the utility company  so if the contractor has a letter stating he has the correct conditions to carry out works on their behalf then no come back to them ??

Like pipeline wayleaves, 12m to be kept clear centered over the pipeline. Got a few to do up here, 400m straight through woods.

BT line clearance would come under the Telecommunications Act 1984, Schedule 2 (think its now been revised though).

Just had a glance though looks like 28 day notice should be given, which may of been sent by the people your working for?, best thing to do is the past the complaints on to them.

 

as the above post states, wayleave agreements should include rights to maintain set clearances.

even then they can't just do the work even if notice is sent ! if they refuse access or refuse you to do the work it seems they have to go to court in order for them to do the work .

this is different to the highways act , after 28 day notice using the highways act you can do the work with or without permission and i assume that is the case with other legislation
