While the operators are not required to seek planning permission, or consult on the installation of network infrastructure, they do work closely with each of the local authorities in the region to support coordination of street works and to ensure that permits are approved for any build activities in a timely manner. They will work closely with and seek guidance from local authority conservation officers to ensure that conservation areas, listed buildings and trees in close proximity to any infrastructure are not affected by their network build activity.
How do you work with local authorities on your build plans?
