Big news for Conservation areas:

http://www.thinkbroadband.com/news/5424-government-r...

Very very new, so council are likely to know no more than is in the press release.

latest news....

the proposed site was forwarded by BT to Morrisons Utility ( the people who did the previous 2 failed planning applications) nearly 3 weeks ago...

i was told that their (Morrisons) surveyors are looking at it, and should respond to it within 10 working days. well past that now, but ive called the guy responsible (at Morrisons) 3 times this week since monday, who said on Monday he would chase them, and still not had a return call from him responding. very disappointing.

was told by this guy before that once approved he would have planning application done within 1 day.

it's now over 1 year since the original planning application was submitted

*grrrr*

Thats progress then! Well done!

Now you just have to wait 8 weeks for the council to process the application, but in the meantime get everybody you can on your estate to add their support to the application, you should hopefully be able to do this online, there should be an option to comment on the application and state whether you support it or not.

thanks ronski, good idea..can't imagine anyone against it

already primed my councillor and the council

it's all been agreed in principle so hopefully *crossed fingers* will pass with no problem this time

takes 1-2 weeks for it to appear on the "system"

very frustrating how long its taken tho....

get there in the end and all that i guess....

interesting read all this is i hope your 3rd go is an charm reading the whole thread

if not i would start to name an shame who ever is rejecting (news as you have) it as it could take another year to get that cab active or BT will just give up and leave you in the 30-20% in the uk that will not have fast broadband

need to postcode to check witch one you connected to

can take up to 2-6 months before sky fiber is allowed to use the FTTC once the cab has been enabled, not sure if its openreach or if sky needing to press the button to add that PCP to the fiber allowed list so they can place orders, it should be instant as nothing special with FTTC BT vs other ISPs that want to offer FTTC at that cab once that cab is active and can take fiber orders

No - SKY dont need "permission" to use an FTTC cabineet!

When BT OpenReach make a CAB available any ISP can use it. It is then up to SKY whether they wish to. In practice once an exchange is accepting orders for FTTC and SKY are accepting orders I can't see any reason for SKY or any other ISP bothering with a granularity at the CAB level other than whether a CAB is enabled or not.
