They probably have similar easements across the pond, i'd imagine.
The pond wouldn't be a problem in this case anyway, as it's within the boundaries of the piece of land in question and under the same ownership.
What I can't believe is that you can't have overhead lines in front of a poultry farm!
That's our local "planners" for you. They've become almost obsessed with the idea that no new cables should go overhead, at least not any for local 11kV and 240/415V distribution. Of course, we have all those people who constantly complain about "ugly power lines" who agree with this, but I don't think many of them realize just how much more expensive it becomes to run everything underground.
