The only time permission like this is required for regular dwellings is if some other private property is involved, so ( for arguments sake ) a terrace of houses , where there is a wall block on one end , and to get to your property the cable would have to go across the property’s in-between the wall block and you , if the cable is entirely on your property, even if it’s rented , it’s can be assumed ( deemed consent) that you have already obtained permission from your landlord, Is there possibility they would refuse ?, in fact unless you told the installer it’s a rented property how could they know ?
If it’s apartments , there can be complex permissions, if there isn’t already internal distribution installed ..what sort of service are you getting , copper ( FTTC or ADSL ) or is it FTTP ?
The property is not apartments. We're going from copper to FTTP.
Thanks, you've confirmed what i thought.
Is it possible for the new FTTP to ‘follow’ the existing copper service , so if overhead feed , where the copper dropwire attaches , the fibre dropwire would use the same attachment on the wall , if underground ducted , then the fibre would be installed alongside the copper cable in the existing duct, neither of these situations needs any ‘wayleave’ or extra permission
If the area was underground fed , but not ducted , the existing copper cable would be ‘DIG’ , direct in ground, the usual method to provide FTTP service in these cases is for a new ‘Toby’ box to be fitted in the footpath opposite the address, if/when service ordered , the fibre cable needs to be installed in the ground between the toby box and house wall…OR try to put the toby box in such a position so that it’s the easiest route to the house wall , normally they aim for a soft dig through grass , but if someone had ( for example ) paved the entire front garden area of their property , obviously there wouldn’t be a soft dig available, and ‘permissions’ would be needed to excavate the ‘paving’ , was the issue anything like this ?
The DSL checker will show what type of service OR should expect ( 1 or 2 stage , no anticipated issues , or potential problems ) can you post the full return for the address , including the info below the speeds available ,
