A bit late

Has a mobile mast appeared nearby? Either standalone or fixed to a street light?

In reply to a post by Jh24:

The management company are as confused as me mate, they sent out there guy to look and said they will investigate it but I think they have exhausted all there inquires the same as me.

The work will have been given the green light by the owners of that land. It sounds more likely to me that someone at the management company gave their permission for it to go ahead and they don't want to admit it to you. As for getting recourse, it sounds like things may get legal.

Yes indeed so I've just seen

My hunch it is local catv rather than Virgin. Do the houses have TV aerials?

You can go down to an absolute minimum of 1.2m on public footways.

Hi mate no we don't have airieals on our houses and apparently have sky already installed. Could it be sky? Or If it's something to do with the TV arieal, would be the owner? Or is the developer something to do with it.

Thanks to everyone that's posted here. I hope we can get to the bottom of this. Cheers guys.

It'll be a local CATV cabinet provided by the developer / management company then. Do you pay a 'service charge' or similar to anyone for TV / Communal gardening etc? If you do, that's where you need to be heading.

Try looking through your local council Planning Applications.

I'm surprised that no-one suggested the council before now. Even though it is a private road, they might know, or recognise the box. You can also get an opinion about whether they'd allow it there if it were a public road.

The box looks serious enough to be BT or VM, but doesn't look like either of theirs to be honest. The lock area looks rather different.

Ordinarily, you'd think that against the wall would be better - but from the look of all the black circular manholes, I'd say there were some services running along that strip
