(1) A Part 4A code right ceases to be conferred on the operator by, or otherwise to bind, the required grantor—
(a) if a replacement agreement comes into effect, in accordance with that agreement,
(b) if the court decides to refuse an application by the operator for the imposition of a replacement agreement, in accordance with that decision, or

(3) In sub-paragraph (1)(c) “specified period” means the period, of no more than 18 months, specified in regulations made by the Secretary of State.
(4) The required grantor has the right, subject to and in accordance with Part 6 of this code, to require the operator to remove any electronic communications apparatus placed on the connected land in the exercise of a Part 4A code right which has ceased to have effect, or otherwise to bind, the required grantor.
