BT Telegraph Pole Erected Outside Property!

OP, are there now, or might there be in the future, any wires passing over your property that emanate from the pole?

wires that pass over your property would be covered by the flying wires act (i know it sounds like a circus act)

What are "flying wires"?

Under certain circumstances, Openreach is allowed to "fly wires" over an adjacent property from an existing pole without the need for a wayleave. This permission only applies providing we do not need to enter the property concerned to do so, that the wires are at a height of 3m or more, and that they do not interfere with the normal business on the property.

The grid system (with several hundred roundabouts) works perfectly. The only ones that get snarl ups are the ones where they have installed traffic lights in the last few years at a cost of millions.

Does screw with tyre wear though!

Except MK is full of Milton Keynes dwellers - and there seems to be an energy field over MK Central station that affects their IQs and abilities to give way to people getting off trains there

Interesting. I ask because a neighbour of my Mum's complained to BT about wires passing over his property and they removed them - at considerable cost I might add, since they had to put up a new pole further down the road. Interesting also that if they need to access your property you might have the upper hand.

There is a BT representative on the forum.

You mean there was.

Last time the rep logged onto the forum was more than a year ago.

Probably redeployed to Facebook or Twitter...

Probably could not put up with all the complaints.

It's good if you want to live in a town that is basically a large shopping mall surrounded by housing estates.

so it is your mums neighbours fault that the OP now has a pole obscuring his view?

Sister in law had a bus stop erected right outside her driveway, slap bang in the middle of it and just 6 feet between the post and the edge of her property.

Surprised they didnt complain about it when the application went in. Not the fact of it blocking her driveway because she doesnt drive and the kerb was not dropped. But people at the bus stop staring in through her front window.
And the neighbours have a driveway and dropped kerb so they have issues reversing on and off the drive.

Silly place for a bus stop. I think they would have had a party if it was a telegraph pole instead.

Something to watch if buying a house with a drive and no dropped kerb i guess.

Its an Openreach pole, not BT
