If anyone with access experience will tell you, these areas they are building are within spitting distance of their existing network. I think cable my street enquiries have little influence in where they go. More a case of finding 2 spare fibres which are less than 1km dig from core network.

Wonder when the 10GPON they tested in Papworth will be going live.
I can see how the lack of a phone line in the RFoG areas is problematic.
The Leeds villages stuff involves more than a 1km dig from core.
I fully imagine the business case for enabling areas is way better when they are close to the core, so expressions of interest required are lower.
Or it could be a gimmick
