TV Aerial Overhanging Boundary

[EddyP]

Not sure if this is really the right section for this question but couldnt decide which would be best.

I wish to install an external aerial on my property, the only sensible wall to mount it to, would mean it would be overhanging the boundary.
The edge of the house is right up to the pavement, as a result the aerial would hang over the pavement, this isn't a busy road, with it being a cul de sac, and its pretty damn high up, so I'm sure it would never be a problem, but i'm just wondering where I would stand from a legal POV ?

Any tips?

Thanks

What sort of property is it, couldn't you have it in the loft? Or hung from the side of the chimney, inside your boundary?

If you hang it outside your boundary and it falls on someone I could imagine your home insurance flipping a finger and you being liable for compo / injury issues.

Some aerials are quite small and neat, are you based in an area with a strong signal and hence able to use a small unit?

Could the unit be mounted elsewher such as on a 4m pole fixed on the back wall and hence inside your boundaries?

Ive currently got it in the loft and the signal is quite poor, we're in a fairly low signal area.
There is another wall which I could mount the aerial on, however then it would be overhanging the neighbours roof, and would mean needing access onto his roof to install the aerial.
The property is an end terrace, but as we're built on a hill the terrace is stepped, my property being the top one.
There's no chimney to mount to either.
The only other option would be to use a bracket to step the aerial out from the wall to clear sofit, guttering etc.. and mount it on the back wall of the house, however it would look quite unsightly through the bedroom window so I was hoping to avoid this.

There's possibly another option, depending on the state of your roof.

Ever been to Lancashire?

Every second house is a terrace - like Coronation Street. See how many of them have a sat dish on the front overhanging the pavement.

Precedence set?

Just trying to work out how this would look, if the comment was taken literally, but it's frazzled my little brain!!

If the aerial will overhang next door, have you considered the guano problem?
