The NFU and CLA attempted to tackle this via a standard agreement in 2013 but since then there have been some big changes.<\/p>\n<p>The most recent change was the introduction of a revised <strong>Electronic Communications Code<\/strong> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2017\/12\/ofcom-uk-publish-final-electronic-communications-code-practice.html\">here<\/a>), which among other things introduced measures to help telecoms operators reach agreements with landowners that could see them paying about the same amount as utility providers (water, electricity etc.), who often pay a lot less. This approach was not universally popular with many rural landowners due, in part, to a fear of lost income.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless the joint CLA and NFU wayleave agreement has now been revised and is available to all broadband infrastructure providers, which they claim is &#8220;<em>designed to make it easier for landowners and broadband providers to reach agreement<\/em>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>Mark Bridgeman, CLA Deputy President, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;People living and working in rural areas have fought long and hard for better broadband provision, and the wayleave agreement that we announce today will help speed up fixed line broadband delivery without eroding property rights. It creates a national framework that provides certainty for individual landowners and smooths the way for faster roll-out.<\/p>\n<p>This revised national Rural Communications Agreement is the culmination of more than a year\u2019s work, and we are pleased to announce this positive step forwards. But there is more work to do: the CLA will keep the pressure on broadband providers to deliver the fast, affordable and reliable connections that the countryside needs, and we will hold Government to their promise of a Universal Service Obligation of 10Mbps by 2020.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The updated agreement suggests advisory payment rates for the installation of equipment that landowners can enter into with companies wishing to install a new broadband network. The agreement also sets out the rights and responsibilities of both landowners and broadband operators.<\/p>\n<p>The suggested rates and agreements could help to cut down the time and cost of negotiating individual wayleaves, making it easier and more cost effective to deploy the infrastructure. On the other hand we note that the &#8220;<em>advisory rates of payment<\/em>&#8221; for the installation of new underground digital infrastructure on private land has risen by about 4% since 2012.<\/p>\n<p>Despite this it appears as if UK ISP <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/gigaclear\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Gigaclear<\/a>, which has been busy deploying their 1Gbps+ capable <strong>Fibre-to-the-Premises<\/strong> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttp\">FTTP<\/a>) broadband network out to many parts of rural England, is broadly supportive of the change.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>Matthew Hare, CEO of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/gigaclear\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Gigaclear<\/a>, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The rural network build programme that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/gigaclear\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Gigaclear<\/a> already has underway will reach over 300,000 homes and businesses by 2021. This agreement simplifies and streamlines the agreement of wayleave requests.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Unfortunately the revised wayleave agreement doesn\u2019t appear to be available to the public, at least we couldn&#8217;t easily find a copy of it on either the NFU or CLA&#8217;s website and as such we can&#8217;t examine the likely impact. However the fact that Gigaclear has lent their support suggests that this is likely to be a more welcome change than previous attempts. As usual, time will tell.<\/p>\n<p>We should add that the CLA represents around 30,000 landowners, farmers and rural businesses across England and Wales. Meanwhile the NFU similarly represents around 55,000 members in England and Wales, involved in 46,000 farming businesses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Country Land and Business Association (CLA) and National Farmers Union (NFU) have today updated their existing wayleave framework for ISPs, which was first agreed in 2013 (here) and has now been revised to help &#8220;speed up rural broadband roll-out&#8221; and reflect recent changes in UK law.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,1645],"tags":[471,38,537],"class_list":["post-16369","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uk_isp_news","category-key_uk_isp_industry_developments","tag-bduk","tag-politics","tag-uso"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.3 -
