Indeed. I would imagine proximity to existing backhaul is just one consideration. How close the area is to existing network, whether the hubsite has capacity, the headend if the hubsite doesn't have CMTS / CCAP, and simple civils costs and expected uptake.
Connecting up orphan plant I'm sure helps with the maths too. The £750 per premises passed all in allocated to Lightning is generous.
The BT dark fibre stuff is I suspect more about mobile mast backhaul, with the EE merger likely to go through.
