Telecoms Provider Planning Permission

[James Klaassen White]

Hi Guys,

Apologies if this has already been covered but I need advice. Normanton Telecoms are planning on installing new ethernet cables to various properties throughout Normanton (West Yorkshire) and we need to know if we would need and what type of planning permission is required to dig up roads?

Also if anyone knows of any reliable roadwork providers - I would be most grateful.

Kind Regards

James

Sorry but why do you believe you need to do something? Surely Normanton Telecoms will take care of everything in regards to work etc?

They don't need planning permission. Just a shovel.

Because he's the CEO at Normanton!

You need a "section 50 license", at the very least. Talk to the highways department at your local council.

I think it's cluelessness. Young Mr White does only have two GCSEs after all.

I admire the entrepreneurial spirit though. Good luck, I say.

That defies the objective of Normanton 2020 - which aims at bringing cheaper broadband at faster speeds. We want to lay our own cabling meaning we set our prices.

No this is a valid question.

I may well have only two GCSE's however I'm immensely proud of the fact that despite my ill health in the months leading up to my exams where at a point I was asked to leave the school - I still came out with 2 GCSE's.

I admire the entrepreneurial spirit though. Good luck, I say.

Thank you!

Thank's to everyone who replied - helpful or not you continue to help shape a better UK internet.

Peter Jones left school without many qualifications and he did OK from telecoms

James perhaps a quantity surveyor who has experience of the cable laying industry would be of help to you as regards tendering and selecting a contractor.

New Roads and Streetworks Act is necessary reading too I'd think. You cannot even put cones and signs out around works without a NRSWA qualification.
