Have a google of wayleave. I think that anything you get is taxable

we got am lump sum of around £100 per pole way back when (we have 2)- so no subsequent owners can claim. the yearly payment would've been so low it would take 15 years to be equal to the lump sum and who knows where i'll be then.
i guess if you have a huge amount of land (and poles) it might be worth getting it annually.

Excuse me for asking but OP mentioned power poles not telephone - so he would have to contact the power company that owns them - yes?
Or do you think he meant telephone pole when he said power??

My parents had a pole in their garden at the last house and they were paid on an annual basis.

It was a BT one though.

I've only ever seen telephone poles in backyards around me.(and when you assume...)
