Gareth: Due to the proximity of this transmitter to others in France, Belgium and Holland, Ofcom has not been able to get clearance for the provision of services on the Sudbury Mast.
It is not expected that such clearance will be granted before 2018.

Gareth: The only "near" transmitter that is going to have COM7/COM8 service is Bluebell hill
Bluebell Hill (Medway, England) Full Freeview transmitter | ukfree.tv - 11 years of independent, free digital TV advice
And it has a very, very low power output.
It's not just a question of "interfere with France and Belgium", but also the matter of their incoming signals rendering reception impossible, at last most of the time.
The digital services are at lower power levels than the old analogue ones, so there is much more efficient use of frequencies, but you can't do these things without international co-ordination.
It is worth remembering that East Anglia is flat, and a large part sea-level reclaimed land. Great signal carrying territory.
