That’s always been the case. In fact Openreach would and can charge even if it’s outside the boundary of the property.
We had one recently, guy having his kerb dropped cut through the duct and cable, even though he was fully aware it was there and how deep it was.
In all he was charged just over £2k for the damage and repairs so turns out it was probably one of the most expensive kerb drops in history.
I would have fully expected the person causing the damage, even if it was accidental, to be billed for the repair regardless of where the cable/ equipment was. I would only expect Openreach to "pick up" the bill if it was a fault or natural wear and tear of their infrastructure.
