Somerset's rural fringe logs a near-£900k home sale as broadband poles arrive outside planning process
A three-bedroom house with 12 acres near Bridgwater is on the market for £895,000 while North Somerset records a fixed-line broadband pole notice for Winscombe that is expressly not a planning application.
A detached three-bedroom house in Merridge near Bridgwater, with 12 acres of land, has been put on the market for £895,000, according to the Bridgwater Mercury [1].
In the same wider Somerset commuter and rural fringe, North Somerset Council's planning weekly list includes a Regulation 5 notification under the Electronic Communications Code Regulations 2003 for fixed-line broadband apparatus, described as one 10m light wooden pole at land opposite Mandalay, Bridgwater Road, Winscombe BS25 1NH [2].
The contrast is procedural as much as geographic: the council-listed notice states in capital letters that it is not a planning application, meaning the apparatus is being notified under electronic communications code arrangements rather than decided through the planning system [2].
