Tree guidance
Interrupted TV reception
Sometimes leaves or branches on trees interrupt reception. However, there is no legal right to reception and we cannot prune trees to deal with the issue.
If you're going to do works to a tree to improve your reception you should agree this with the tree owner.
If your TV signal is interrupted by a tree:
- you may have to install an aerial above the trees by mounting it on a pole
- you may be able to overcome the issue by using a high gain aerial
- try an alternative position such as on a different chimney stack
- you may have to remove parts of the tree that obstruct the signal.
Right to light
You can get a right to light if:
- the light was uninterrupted for 20 years
- it interrupts your daily life, for example needing artificial light in the day to read
- the light is significantly reduced.
