Think you are nailing the issue here. Planning departments have lost sight of their purpose which is to take a balanced, considered approach to development, not just set out to frustrate it. They are conditioned to think that appearance is the primary factor in a planning decision, without really considering the overall benefit to the public at large of that development. Maybe they just don't think broadband is a 'vital public service' yet....

Maybe you could ask the Planning Inspectorate to intervene?
