In fairness, there was already a huge phone box right next to it and their planning work for the cabinet was conducted before the memorial itself had been erected. Still, on this occasion, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/britishtelecom\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">BT<\/a>&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/openreach\" target=\"_blank\">Openreach<\/a> engineers agreed to move the box.<\/p>\n<p>But how strong does a case for movement need to be before it&#8217;s taken seriously and a change made? At present that remains unclear. Meanwhile a &#8220;new&#8221; example of tricky placement has emerged after a disabled pensioner, <strong>James Godman<\/strong>, who lives on White Hart Lane in <strong>Portchester<\/strong> (Portsmouth, England), complained that a cabinet which BT installed over two years ago is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.portsmouth.co.uk\/news\/business\/local-business\/disabled-man-s-anger-as-bt-blocks-his-drive-with-a-broadband-box-1-6619991\" target=\"_blank\">causing him problems<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The story goes that Mr Godman\u00a0wanted to convert his front garden into a driveway because he&#8217;s not allowed to park at the back of his house (double yellow lines etc.). Apparently he needs the space in order to exit his own vehicle and so that family members\u00a0\/ home carers can assist him.<\/p>\n<p>The trouble is that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/openreach\" target=\"_blank\">Openreach<\/a> have installed the cabinet, which incidentally occurred all the way back in 2012 while Godman was on holiday, right in front of his drive and in so doing have made it difficult for two cars to park. Others further up on the same road have in the past reported\u00a0similar experiences with cabinet placement.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>James Godman said:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<em>There was no notice given. It could have been put on the boundary line. If it would\u2019ve been put half-on, half-off then there would not have been a problem. It was thoughtless act. They could\u2019ve just moved it a further metre-and-a-half and there would not have been any problem. It has made life very awkward<\/em>.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The current planning rules, outside of strict conservation areas, have over the past few years been relaxed in order to help the roll-out of superfast broadband and the vast majority of people benefit from that. The land that BT uses is also public property and the operator does not need to personally inform home owners ahead of such work.<\/p>\n<p>In this instance Godman says that he&#8217;s never spoken to BT about the problem, which is surprising, and it&#8217;s unclear why the situation has only come to light after several years. In response a spokesman for BT said that they conduct &#8220;<em>robust planning<\/em>&#8221; in order to determine &#8220;<em>the best possible location to provide maximum service<\/em>&#8221; and that the related cabinet complies with all the relevant regulation.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<em>Although it\u2019s unlikely cabinets will reallocated once installed, homeowners and residents can of course make a complaint to Open Reach who will investigate<\/em>,&#8221; said the telecoms giant. We can certainly see some of Godman\u2019s point of view on this one, although the fact that\u00a0several years have past makes it unlikely that BT would\u00a0move it (generally they only need to\u00a0leave room for one car entry point).<\/p>\n<p>Note: The picture in our article isn\u2019t the cabinet itself, just a similar example.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over the years the placement of BT\u2019s (Openreach) superfast broadband (FTTC) capable street cabinets have occasionally caused anger among NIMBYs (Not In My Back Yard), a lot of it unwarranted, but sometimes there may be a stronger case for adjustment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[474,55,69,71],"class_list":["post-8822","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uk_isp_news","tag-bt","tag-fttc","tag-bt-openreach","tag-wales"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 -
