This is absolute twaddle in my eyes and i will be using the email supplied (thanks btw) to vent about it.
Im sure if i contact the local MP, she will be able to help.

Gonna go get my citizen smith hat and fight the power!!

Wish me luck
I'm not a lawyer, but as I undestand there is a general presumption of wayleave for telecom providers except where the works would disturb a conservation area. Seeing as BT are present in said areas, there would be few reasonable grounds for a council to refuse VM.

I guess you'll need to ferret deeper into VM who, I suspect, don't really care because it would be easier to increase the business from an existing street.
