This needs revising to bring it up to date. You should not accept a developer proposing to install FTTC; only FTTP is now acceptable.

Policy ID3 intends to ensure that broadband connectivity in South Kesteven can meet the vital needs of all over the plan period. It is reasonable to identify this as a key policy consideration as all sectors of the community, both residents and businesses rely more than ever on access to broadband and communications networks. We are concerned however, that the policy and supporting text only focuses on what a developer is required to integrate into their development and fails to hold the communications providers to account for the overall network. The requirement to “future proof” is understood but this needs to be considered further to reflect that across South Kesteven the overall network will be mixed with some locations benefiting from greater connections than others, reflecting the urban and rural communities.

DWH object to Policy ID3. It is considered that ‘where possible’ should be added so the policy states ‘where possible new developments must be served by either: Fibre to the Premises…or Fibre to the Cabinet technology’. This is accordance with NPPF paragraph 16 (b) which states that ‘plans should be prepared positively, in a way that is aspirational but deliverable’.
