Posted: Tue Feb 16, 16 8:58 pm Post subject: Broadband to land with a barn but no house |
|
Anyone got BT to install a new phone line into a barn on land with no house? Want it for security reasons due to the 9th break in at the weekend, but the land is miles from our house. BT say they need a postal address for the install, and got the following from the council.
"Thank you for your Street Naming and Numbering request. Unfortunately, we cannot register an official postal address to a parcel of land. We discussed this issue with Royal Mail and they state:
‘If a field or barn is part of a larger site that has an existing postal address, then under Royal Mail’s Universal Service Obligation, Royal Mail will deliver mail to the delivery point for that main address only. Onward distribution of the mail is not Royal Mail’s responsibility.
If the field/barn is not part of a larger site that is a postal address then it is not an address and does not qualify for any form of mail delivery. Royal Mail would not allocate a postal address / postcode to a piece of land, allotment or uninhabited barn.’
I apologise that we cannot assist you in this instance. However I can inform you that the Council can hold an unofficial address for the land on the Local Land and Property Gazetteer (LLPG), if you could provide us with a location plan of the site in question. We could then provide you with a confirmation of the unofficial address of the land, as held on the LLPG, should you wish to forward that to the Phone/Broadband provider. "
Haven't called BT back about the last option as yet, need to free up a few hours as they pass me around the call centre ![](images/smiles/icon_sad.gif) |
