The Chatton transmitting station is a broadcasting and telecommunications facility, between Wooler and Seahouses, Northumberland. It is owned and operated by Arqiva, and situated within the boundary of Bewick and Beanley Moors SSSI.
On Thursday February 12 1970, outline planning permission was given for a 500ft UHF 'booster station', known as a relay, at Chatton Sandyfords. In September 1970, the ITA wanted a transmitter by 1972, in Glendale Rural District.
By 1972, it was hoped to be built by 1974. Glendale Rural Council gave full planning permission for a 500ft mast on Thursday March 8 1973. The ITA in August 1973 said that the Chatton Moor transmitter would start in 1974.
30,000 viewers would view BBC and ITV television from Monday August 19 1974.
