Part 2: Telecommunications Infrastructure Section 67: Unresponsive Occupiers Paragraphs 27ZC and 27ZD: Requirements to be met before applying for an order under this Part
Paragraph 27ZC makes provision about the requirements which an operator has to meet before applying to the court for an order under the new Part 4ZA.
	Sub-paragraph (1) provides that an operator may not apply for a Part 4ZA order unless it has given the required grantor: (a) two warning notices, and (b) a final notice. These notices are in addition to the initial "request notice" required by 27ZB(1)(d).
	Sub-paragraph (2) sets out that a warning notice must be in writing and what that notice must contain.
	Sub-paragraph (3) provides that the first warning notice may only be given after the end of the period of 14 days beginning with the day on which the "request notice" was given.
	Sub-paragraph (4) provides that the second warning notice may only be given after the end of the period of 14 days beginning with the day on which the first one was given.
	Sub-paragraph (5) sets out that a final notice must be in writing and what that notice must contain.
	Sub-paragraph (6) provides that a final notice may only be given within the "permitted period". This period is defined in sub-paragraph (7) as beginning (a) immediately after the end of the period of 14 days beginning with the day on which the second warning notice was given, and (b) ends at the end of the period of 28 days, beginning with the day on which the second warning notice was given. Taken together, this provides a 14 day window in which a final notice may be given.
	Sub-paragraph (8) provides power for the Secretary of State to specify by regulations any further conditions that an operator will need to satisfy before issuing a final notice.
	Sub-paragraph (9) provides that where the word "specified" is used in this paragraph, the item in question may be specified in regulations by the Secretary of State. Items in this paragraph which are "specified" are 1) additional information which must be included in a "warning notice", 2) additional information which must be included in a "final notice", and 3) the time period within which the required grantor must respond to the final notice.
	In paragraph 27ZD, sub-paragraph (1) sets out when an operator is able to apply to the court for a Part 4ZA order. This includes requirements that there has been no previous Part 4ZA order imposing an agreement between the operator and the required grantor in respect of the code rights sought in the request notice, that the operator has met all the requirements related to provision of notice to the required grantor, including giving sufficient time for the required grantor to respond, the required grantor has not responded to the operator and the operator has met the specified conditions (see sub-paragraph (6)).
	Sub-paragraph (2) provides that an application for a Part 4ZA order must be accompanied by the evidence specified in any regulations made by the Secretary of State.
	Sub-paragraph (3) provides that an application may not be made after the end of the specified period (which will be set out in regulations made by the Secretary of State).
	Sub-paragraph (4) provides that the operator must give notice to the required grantor that it has applied for a Part 4ZA order.
	Sub-paragraph (5) makes provision for what constitutes a response by the required grantor. Any engagement in writing by the required grantor with the operator constitutes a response for these purposes.
	Sub-paragraph (6) provides that where the word "specified" is used in this paragraph, the item in question may be specified in regulations by the Secretary of State. Items in this paragraph which are "specified" are 1) additional conditions which an operator must satisfy before applying to the court for a Part 4ZA order, 2) evidence which must accompany an application, as described in sub-paragraph (2), and 3) the time after which an application may no longer be made, as described in sub-paragraph (3).
