Areas of Law / Public Law

They’re planning to put up a 20-metre telecom mast quite close to our housing estate. My house looks out on to open countryside. Would I be entitled to compensation if the value of my house was affected by the mast, or if, for example, it interfered with my TV reception?

You would not be entitled to compensation if the mast affected your view or devalued your property; English law does not recognise the right to a view from one’s house. However since your mast is more than 15 metres high it will have to go through the full local authority planning procedures, so you and your neighbours will have an opportunity to make your objections known. If your TV reception was affected the operator may have to compensate you.
