Low Voltage (LV) electricity infrastructure forms part of the local distribution network that delivers power directly to homes and businesses. This type of equipment is commonly found on residential streets, gardens and private land.
Low Voltage apparatus can affect property in a number of ways, including:
- Wooden utility poles positioned within gardens or land
- Overhead cables running across property boundaries
- Supporting stays or anchor points installed in the ground
- Access requirements for maintenance and repair workM
Although smaller than high voltage infrastructure, these installations still require electricity companies to secure rights to place and maintain equipment on private property. In many cases, property owners may be entitled to compensation but are unaware that a claim may exist.
