There is no need for the first three criteria of this policy on Fibre to the Premises broadband because this matter has been addressed through the Part R update to building Regulations that came in last year on 26 December
2022, which ensures development provides gigabit ready physical infrastructure.

These elements of the Policy should therefore be deleted.

This could also be cross-referenced within the justification text to Policy DLP36 – Canals sub-section 3f. (ACTION REQUEST).
