Freedom Fibre has contacted the Parish Council with regard to installation of poles in the Parish to accommodate the roll out of full-fibre broadband network to homes and businesses in North Shropshire. Where possible use will be made of the existing network of telegraph poles and underground ducting, however it is sometimes necessary to install new essential infrastructure to ensure no community is left behind.
Under existing planning rules, masts and poles less than 15 metres high can be installed without being subject to planning consent except those listed under Article 1 (5) of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 1995. The obligation for telecoms companies is to display a ‘Regulation 5’ notice detailing the proposed telegraph poles on nearby street furniture 28 days before their planned installation.

In line with statutory obligations, Freedom Fibre will display official notices detailing the proposed telegraph poles on nearby street furniture 28 days before their planned installation. Residents with questions or queries are encouraged to visit www.freedomfibre.com/faq-poles
