Policy DEL3 – Promotion of Fibre to the Premises and 5G Networks

The policy requires that all major developments will be required to deliver ‘Fibre to the Premises’ (FTTP) infrastructure to all individual properties. Paragraph 4.42 of the BCP states that the expected cost of FTTP is expected to be relatively small and “any costs to the developer could be balanced by increased sales values generated by fast and reliable broadband being available”. The Viability and Deliverability Study states that the cost of utilities provision has been included in the external works allowance so no specific figure has been quoted. The policy refers to ‘subject to practicality and viability’ which we support.
