how many phone lines can cross my garden?
 

Hi, Been trying to find out max no of phone lines ok to cross my little garden - currently have 14 which seems excessive - any ideas would be helpful thank you

It all depends on what wayleaves are in place regarding the lines. There's more info here:

Depends what you mean by "crossing your garden". If you mean underground, then Wayleave rules apply. If they cross above your garden at a height of 3 metres or above from a distribution pole & do not interfere with access, they do not apply.

Extract from Openreach info on wayleaves

Under certain circumstances, Openreach is allowed to "fly wires" over an adjacent property from an existing pole without the need for a wayleave. This permission only applies providing we do not need to enter the property concerned to do so, that the wires are at a height of 3m or more, and that they do not interfere with the normal business on the property.

Get a drone. They would then interfere with the normal business on the property :)

Or you get a trampoline and start a trampolineing business ;)
