I am writing to advise you that Netomnia, as a fibre broadband provider, has given the council as planning and highway authorities notification to install a telegraph pole at side of 1 Dene Road, Blackhall Colliery. I have attached a plan indicating the proposed location of the pole.
Netomnia are permitted to install telegraph poles, within the public highway, utilising their Statutory Code Powers (granted by central government) under “The Code and the Electronic Communications Code (Conditions and Restrictions) Regulations 2013”.
The installation of the telegraph poles is classified as Permitted Development under “Town and Country (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015”, therefore no formal consultation process is required under this Order.
However, although the poles are Permitted Development you may, should you wish to do so, make a representation (not objection) to Netomnia relation to this telegraph pole. This must be done by 17/01/2024 quoting reference 43301.
Should you wish to make a representation to Netomnia please send directly to joanne.heslop@mapgroupuk.com and copy the representation to streetworks@durham.gov.uk
