VM has a budget per home passed for infil (at the moment C£350) this has been promised to be upped moving forward.
simply explained if the whole cost of expanding down a street that has ducting close by comes in on, or less than, £350 per house passed (and they have the capacity in the nearest cabinet) they will build it.
if they have to build a new cabinet then the price rises accordingly.
with this in mind a terraced street probably has more chance of infil than a cul-de-sac with only a few houses on it.
as regards the 'bidding war' you make mention of as to who gets the ducting that doesnt exist.
BT are duty bound to provide a line up to every new build home.
VM simply agree a price for the house builder to install the underground ducting as the development progresses and wire the properties as the houses get built.
