5.7 Policy DEL3 refers to Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) and requires that that all
major developments should deliver FTTP. All eligible proposals should be also supported by a FTTP Statement and confirms that FTTP will be available at first occupation. As the delivery of such facilities lies outside of the immediate control of the developer, this is not a suitable requirement for a development plan policy. It is reliant on the provider delivering the infrastructure and whilst the planning system can facilitate its delivery it cannot ultimately ensure it is provided. The policy needs amendment to reflect this.
