155U: FTTP service provider or network operator may extend time for body corporate objections

You could also call this:

"Companies can get more time to object to certain installations if they ask for it."

Illustration for Telecommunications Act 2001

If you are a body corporate, an FTTP service provider or a network operator can give you more time to object to a category 1 or category 2 installation under section 155T. You can ask for this extra time by giving the FTTP service provider or network operator a notice before the 15-working-day period for objecting is over. The FTTP service provider or network operator must not say no to your request without a good reason if you ask for more time to object, as set out in section 155T and section 155N.
