To renew lease regarding EE & H3G Ltd. (EEH3G), Telecommunications Installation at Wycombe Badminton Centre, Crest Road, HP11 1UA.

Reasons for the decision

On the 17th July 2002 the Council granted a Lease to Hutchison 3G UK Limited in regards telecommunications equipment (mast) installation at Wycombe Badminton Centre, Crest Road, HP11 1UA.
This Lease expired on the 31st December 2021 and EEH3G have been holding over on existing terms, since then.

EEH3G have recently served notice on the Council seeking the renewal of lease.

Heads of Terms (HoTs) have been agreed with EEH3G in regards a lease renewal. The agreed HoTs are contained within the confidential appendix.

Alternative options considered

If the Council does not proceed with proposed renewal it runs the risk of the Operator taking matter to Tribunal and lease terms being imposed in the Council by said Tribunal.
