    Is it possible to erect a telegraph pole on your land without the need for planning permission? I'm interested in the maximum height, and the maximum height for an antenna on a house.

    I'm having a hard time locating this information.

    Thank you

    "Telegraph"? :)

    Generally it doesn't need planning permission, but there may be restraints if it is a listed building / protected view or more than a certain number of poles / wires / voltage.

    Have a chat with the planning department in the local council.

    Thank you for your reply.

    The pole would be used for nothing more than wireless broadband. Since it would be running on unlicensed frequencies, we are hoping for a quick setup.

    The area is pretty useless coverage of existing broadband and the nearby radio tower is ran by someone rather uncooperative.

    Ah, so you need a wireless telegraphy mast then. :)

    That's different, you may need PP, but ask.

    You will need planning permission, imo.

    There is no exemption from planning permission for any non building element higher than 2m within the curtilage of a dwelling house for non state bodies, that I am aware of.
