Legitimate question... why do people still want a phone attached to a residential property? With mobile phone ownership and use so ubiquitous these days and with the advent of FTTP I fail to see the need, other than in some edge cases.

I guess like many here, it's been a desire to build my own home for many years now, although I didn't ever think it would be an itch I'd actually get to scratch. However, work circumstances changed in the past couple of years and seeing as my wife and I couldn't find a suitable next home, we've decided to build one instead! We've just completed on a new (old) house on half an acre within the settlement boundary of the town 4 miles down the road from where we currently live. The current property was built in 1959 and the plan is to demolish and rebuild, which is what the house on the next plot over did 4 years ago. There's a number of houses on surrounding plots that have already gone through the same process in the past 10 years, so we're reasonably confident about the planning process. We've not built before, only rennovated our current house, so lots of the process is new to us. We're just in the process of picking an architect right now. Simon.
