Thats good, hope they continue.

They seem to have updated Google Street view, there's now two people looking at the cabinet, the pictures dated July 2012. Perhaps they should add a caption to the picture "Will it ever get planning approval????"

haha, that's classic

well found

that must have been the Council visiting the site to find an acceptable site

they ended up proposing 2 which 1 BT accepted

the guy on the right looks like the case officer for this planning application

thanks for the posts and encouragement

disappointing response from locals on the Council website

at least the 7 so far are all positive

Perhaps you need to go door to door with a laptop and get people to add their support there and then. Not sure what you'd do about an internet connection unless you have a dongle/wifi hot spot on you're phone.

The main thing is there are no objections.

I put a message out on a local monthly newsletter to all properties

Also spoken to many people at every opportunity

Also spoke at the last Open Meeting here last Sunday

Quite a few people said they would comment, but have just failed to do so

Don't really feel like knocking on nearly 300 doors

Agree with you, the main thing is, I guess, that all comments so far are positive

I wouldn't either, especially in this weather.

Got a call from the Council case officer today, he has provisionally approved the planning application. There was some concern from the adjacent property but he feels he has answered those questions.

It now goes to a more senior planning officer for final approval or not.

Hopefully will have an answer in the next few days, depending on backlog.

That will be quick, usually takes 8 weeks, let's hope you're cabinet goes in just as quick, presuming it's approved of course.

yeah the Council have been true to their word. They had said when received they would try to make a quick decision. Clearly didn't like the negative publicity campaign

I've been given the email of the BT Openreach Project Manager, so hopefully can co-ordinate a speedy installation after (if?) planning permission is given.

Fingers crossed!
