Cluttons - Mixed-Use Development - Stevenage Borough Council

Date: 28 Jan 2002

Cluttons' Telecoms team has been instructed by Stevenage Borough Council to act as its telecommunication consultant in managing and facilitating the development of new and existing aerial sites within the borough.

The Council, which has received a large number of applications from mobile operators and is keen to unlock other opportunities within its £79,000,000 property portfolio has instructed Cluttons to provide expert advice and guidance on a range of areas including:

- the preparation of a policy detailing how applications for aerials on council property are handled;

- advice and assistance to enable the council to deal with public consultation and health and safety issues effectively;

- the identification and marketing of suitable sites to telecommunication operators and site providers and negotiating lease terms with a view to maximising income.

- Negotiating rent reviews on existing installations.

The scope of the work currently being undertaken by Cluttons' telecoms team ranges from site identification right through to build completion and includes reviews, renewals, disposals, rating and other related services. Cluttons are therefore extremely well placed to provide the advice that Stevenage needs.

The instruction is expected to result in a large increase in revenue for the Council and all future applications will need to comply with the Council's new telecom policy which covers public consultation and health & safety.
