IN4: Broadband and Development.
1. Broadband Provision in Major Development
Developers will be expected to work with broadband service providers to ensure that the provision of future-proofed high speed broadband infrastructure is available, including connections to buildings, and this should be by fibre connection wherever possible.
2. Broadband Infrastructure Development
Broadband infrastructure development must meet the following criteria:
- (a) any adverse impacts on the natural and built environment and communities have been minimised;
- (b) opportunities of sharing infrastructure between utilities have been addressed in order to minimise disruption, reduce installation costs and increase the viability of service provision.
