I'm trying to help somebody out.
When erecting a building close to an overhead power line (11KV single phase in this case) the DNO here (SSE) advise you that you cannot build less than 9 metres from the line, or more correctly they request you contact them.
when you do contact them they verbally said the actual limit is 6 metres, but if you are building between 6 and 9 metres from the line they want to discuss and agree with you things like scaffold, diggers and cranes.
My question is what statutory documents are in force here? where is the actual legislation that sets the 6 (or 9) metre limit, what does it actually say?
