Hi All,
We are due to start work on a site later this year in Northern Ireland. On this site will be a tower crane, which will be invading airspace above residential, public access and church areas. There will be plenty of clearance between the buildings/roads etc. and the crane and associated loads.
Can anyone throw any light on the legal requirements of invading airspace?
Thanks
Lee

It's a long time ago now, but I think when we were discussing this in my law studies, it was called Tresspass. Covered by Tort.
I think, again from memory, that you will need permissions.
Talk to the local authority of where the work is and they will give you all the requirements.

We had a similar instance a couple of years ago, in this case we oversailed the offices of a local solicitor who was only too ready to advise us that we required a 'licence' to oversail his premises. As it turned out he had access to a standard licence agreement on some legal database that he subscribed too (similar to barbour index but for lawyers!).
We had to pay a nominal fee to him which he gave to charity, but essentially the form allowed us permission to oversail his property.
Not sure if this helps, it was all dealt with by the site manager on the ground.

Just got to this now.
Nice to see there is help out there even on sticky ones like this.
You won't believe this- I am only after telephoning 2 construction solicitors and they hadn't a clue.
Again, thanks guys,
Much Appreciated,
Lee

Hi Lee
I don't have the relevant legislation with me but In the case of a crane or a MEWP you cannot go above 10m if you are within 6Km of the boundary fence of an airport.
If you need to go above 10m you need to contact the airport and then it's all about risk assessment I believe.
I will find out which regs and get back to you
Regards
Mike

Hi Lee
It's "The Air Navigation Order". Also "CAP168 Licensing of Aerodromes".
Cheers
Mike
