Regulation 18 Use of electronic communicationsI1
Northern Ireland
Paragraphs (2) and (3) apply where a person uses electronic communications for any of the following purposes—
making an application for express consent under regulation 8;
serving notice of appeal to the commission under regulations 14 or 15;
making a claim for compensation under regulation 17;
giving notice to the council under a deemed consent under Part 1 of Schedule 3 which is subject to a condition to give such a notice.
In a case to which this paragraph applies, and except where a contrary intention appears, the person making the application, claim or giving or serving notice shall be taken to have agreed—
to the use of electronic communications for all purposes relating to the application, appeal, claim or notice (as the case may be) which are capable of being effected using such communications;
that the address for the purpose of such communications is the address incorporated into, or otherwise logically associated with, the application, appeal, claim or notice;
that the person’s deemed agreement under this paragraph shall subsist until that person gives notice in writing that he or she wishes to revoke the agreement and such withdrawal or revocation shall be final and shall take effect on a date specified by that person in the notice but not less than seven days after the date on which the notice is given.
The requirement in regulation 8(4)(d) that an application for express consent to display advertisements shall include a plan sufficient to identify the site is satisfied where the applicant identifies the site on an electronic map provided by the council and for this purpose a map is taken to be provided where the council has published it on its website.
