> but you don't get to have petrol pipes, beer pipes or milkshake pipes laid to your property, neither you get to choose 160V DC or 430V 400Hz electricity
Sure you can have all of these. They're just not offered as part of normal utilities. Nobody will care if you build yourself some, except maybe for petrol pipes due to fire/explosion risk.
Good luck getting you council to approve buried pipes from a brewery even 100m down the road. Within the confines of your parcel - maybe, so enjoy your Visual Builder for (beer) Aficionados.
