Regulation 13 Electricity distribution hereditamentsI1

Where a company which is a designated person by virtue of being listed in Part 7 of the Schedule occupies or, if it is unoccupied, owns what would, apart from these Regulations, be more than one hereditament and each of those separate hereditaments satisfies the conditions set out in paragraph (2), those hereditaments will be treated as one hereditament.

The conditions are that each of the separate hereditaments is used wholly or mainly for the purposes of the designated person acting as an electricity distributor or for ancillary purposes and is not an excepted hereditament.

In paragraph (2)—

• “electricity distributor” has the meaning given by section 6 of the Electricity Act 1989^f1; and

• “excepted hereditament” means—

  1. (a)

     a hereditament to which regulation 14 applies;

  2. (b)

     a hereditament consisting of or comprising premises used wholly or mainly as office premises, where those premises are not situated on operational land of the designated person.

The hereditament described in paragraph (1) will be treated as occupied by the designated person.
