im in sort of a smmilar situation, im thinking of moving to a 3rd (top) floor tennemnt in glasgow(1), anyway there is an ntl box directly in front of the property seperated from the outside wall by a 2" garden an i was told it couldnt be done due to planning permission.

the fact the instalation could be done by one bloke with a spade, a big ladder and drill seemed irrealavant. anyway if i get this house there are 6 households and it would littrally be a case of digging a small treach to the wall, running coax up the wall behind the drainpipe and through the bay windows frame. i would guess at most 3 hours work, is there any way i could get this done without having to talk the neighbors who i havent met into sighning something.

just on another matter the property i was looking at may need some roof work, are VM capable of arranging to use the scafolding whilst its on site or do they need to use their own gear.

(1) i have very few location requirments since i travel to various sites and only want a big high roofed flat with ntl in an area i woulnt get stabbed in.
