Reference TV reception there is no absolute legal right to interference free
TV reception. For an exhuastive exposition of the subject take a look at the
judgement made in the House of Lords a while back.

There were cases of windfarm developers providing self-help relays due
to TV interference. Of course that was in the old analogue days. There
is a BBC advisory document somewhere on the web.

I'm not up to date with the effect on DTT but instinct suggests it
will be less severe.

The real point is that there is no fundamental right to TV reception and it
not something that is regarded as what is called in legal terms a "nuisance"
so even if a wind turbine would cause interference there is no legal remedy.
I have not found any legal cases on TV interference caused by wind turbines
but if anyone can refer me to any I would appreciate it.

Can't provide any legal cases (I'll leave that to J G Miller) but
the text on this page suggests that windfarms do disrupt analogue TV
reception, but not digital.

I wonder who paid for the link station ?

It would have been paid for by the company that provides the relay links.

but I think you will find that the 'planners' generally took note of the
BBC's objections on behalf of local communities and required something like
a "Self Help" transmitter to be provided. I can only think of one case
where the BBC objected on its own behalf when the input to a nearby
transmitter would have been lost - or at least badly impaired.

Not neceassarily. the previous link was simply off air reception, so
no-one provided it. It is possible that the planners required the Wind
farm owners to pay - as a condition of planning. it certianly happened
elsewhere.

Have got more details? AFAIK no such condition would be legally
enforceable.

I might be wrong but I seem to remember a comprehensive report on the

If it was a condition of Planning Permission then it is quite legally
enforceable - just like any other planning condition. In a great many
grants of Planning Permission there are requirements like this, especially
when it is a large development. My next door neihbour had certain
conditions laid down which he ignored. i told Planning Enforcement and all
work had to stop until the conditions were complied with.
