I've found things like 'surge' and 'over-voltage' for Überspannung but that sounds too dangerous to have a guaranteed right to it! Grateful for any suggestions - thanks in advance!

: Easement is what we call this in the USA. It is MY property, but I have to let them come on it to service their lines.

Thank you very much, this helped me to understand what was actually going on. I wish I could split the points, but as I actually used Armorel's wording I'm afraid they're going to her. Thank you again. |

Cf.
"An existing high voltage overhead power main is located along the site’s southern boundary. This will be diverted underground by UK Power Networks to enable supply."

You may not need consent for that in the UK:

But that doesn't seem to be true for Germany:

(overhead)...would suffice.
Thanks.

Please note that these are overhead power/transmission lines. It says "Überspannung"; this should be about a "Freileitung" (see Wiki):

Also, please note that Betretungsrecht would be kind of redundant in English.
