If BT are going to dig up the road, or install a cab.
They need the exact same permission from the local authority as Virgin Media do.
In the eyes of government BT is exactly the same as VM and vice versa.
We all work to the electronic communications code. The New Roads and Streetworks Act and the Traffic Management Act.
Also if you are referring to the siting and positioning of cabinets, you're right BT don't need "planning permission" but neither do Virgin Media. However you still need to gain approval from the council that it is sited sympathetically and responsibly. i.e. not impede sight lines and road junctions etc.
