Nothing belonging to the consumer is normally allowed in the meter enclosure other than cables to connect the meter to the consumer unit. Any reference to customer equipment is pretty strictly refering to metering equipment (potentially including meters, timers, relays) and service fuses... The RARE exception would be in instances like public lighting etc where the enclosure might contain a single RCD & breaker.

PaulUK: Under the Electricty supply act 1927 they have all sorts of powers in terms of access to and over land.

The developer has a rather stark choice. Either he hand over the land for substations, cabling, minipillars etc.. or he doesn't get electricity installed at all.
