I would have thought that if an aerial runs over a neighbouring property, gentleman’s agreement or no, then it is an issue if those in that property might be considered to be at risk as defined by the proposed parameters.
I agree that planning is a different issue and that the Ofcom notice is not dealing with a planning issue per se.
It is pleasing to learn, Trevor, that you have found no issues in your case. It would be interesting to know something of your particular operating circumstances (always bearing in mind this is a public forum).
Of course, these outcomes will depend on many factors: the type of property, the amount of the land it stands within belonging to the property (or not at all as it could be a flat), proximity of neighbours, public highways and footpaths, etc., band in use, amount of power from the transmitter and mode of transmission, type and construction of antenna and associated gain or losses, etc., etc. One thing that is certain: no two cases will be alike.
My situation could be problematic though I will be pleased to be proved wrong.
On the subject of telegraph poles, some work was done at the base of one in my street. It appears it was fibre installation of some sort. Then a couple of weeks later a crew turned up to replace the entire pole. I had a chat to one of the guys who had already found the overhead cables that were out of use. One was a cable to my property and he happily got up his ladder and removed it. One less bit of copper wire that could radiate some QRM has to be a good thing!
