Council lists show broadband poles and fire-safety wall works filed outside full planning process

North Somerset Council's planning weekly list included six notices for fixed-line broadband equipment, all marked 'THIS IS NOT A PLANNING APPLICATION' [1][2][3][4][5][6]. The notices cover one 12m pole in Congresbury, four poles in Nailsea and one fibre cabinet in Weston-super-Mare [1][2][3][4][5][6]. Bristol City Council's planning applications weekly list included applications for Lawful Development Certificates at Rawnsley House on Goodhind Street and Croydon House on Croydon Street, both in BS5 [7][8]. The Bristol applications describe like-for-like external alterations, including replacement of external wall materials, to comply with updated building and fire safety regulations [7][8]. The two sets of entries show broadband infrastructure and external wall fire-safety works being processed through routes other than planning applications.
