BT Pole on my land

Sounds good. So tell them you will grant a wayleave for it in the new position that YOU want it.0

Though I'm wondering about the bit that goes "Please note that this is a chargeable service".
To me - I read that as "Whoops - we tried it on to do so without agreement of owner of your house and we've just been caught out for it. But - if we agree to move what-we-shouldnt-have-had-there in the first place - we'll charge you for putting right our mistake":cool:0 -
Would you do that via the phone or via their email / online forms or all ?0

I've just read my wayleave agreement (Overhead cables) It appears to say that the agreement lasts 15 yrs, or as long as I own the land if shorter.I am not a cat (But my friend is)0

I am going to ring them now and do the other means of communication they suggested as well - lets see how the phone call goes first.0

Wayleaves for poles are a one-off payment and last indefinitely. They run with the land, not the owner.
My opinion is that you will struggle to have the pole moved for free if you are standing to gain from doing so: i.e. developing the land.
My pole was moved because someone, obviously an Openreach employee, moved the pole illegally to a place where it was never intended to be. That's different from Openreach installing it in the place their surveyor chose and attaching the usual notice asking the landowner to get in touch.0 -
I dont mind paying but it just needs to be done and hopefully now there is no way leave agreement it might be quicker or cheaper....0

Just annoyingly found out that back in Feb they offered pole support for 1600 quid for the build but that my builder didn't let me know !!0
