 If it happens at all in ZL it seems like 505-510 will be the band. 
Concern for protection of legacy operation on 500 and just below is 
the main concern apparently- no idea just where such operation is 
taking place. It may be OFCOM is thinking the same way but taking a 
more pragmatic approach by allowing 'limited output' operation a bit 
closer to 500 in the first instance, to see if it really is an issue.

before shutting down-- I'm ready!!)
