11.3 is specified in a written notice given by the Grantor to BRT (and to which a plan shall be annexed identifying the land in question on a scale sufficient for the purpose of identification and based on a current Ordnance Survey extract for the area) to which BRT does not within 60 days of service respond identifying the Installation on such land as at that date, and in the event of BRT identifying such Installation the provisions of Clause 7.3 shall apply to the extent relevant and in the event of BRT failing to so identify any Installation on such land within such 60 day period, BRT shall acknowledge in writing (in a form reasonably required by the Grantor) that the land in question has been released from and is no longer affected by the provisions of this Deed
