Council has failed to ensure that developments over recent years have been provided with adequate
broadband infrastructure.
I have looked at your proposed form for Submission of Representations. It is not fit for purpose.
I wish to submit multiple and linked representations.
I find the plan and the consultation process severely flawed such as to make the current plan and timetable for consultation Unsound and not legal.
I outline my reasoning in the attached document which is ordered according yo your plan and where possible references specific paragraphs and Policies.
My high level objections to the consultation process are stated at the start of the attached document.

Policy P14A (Bullet Point 4):
- Council should not impose new electronic communications requirements beyond provision of infrastructure as set out in statutory Building Regulations.
- March 2020 Budget confirmed future legislation will ensure new build homes are built with gigabit-capable broadband, amending Part R of Building Regs.
- DCMS has outlined its intentions on the practical workings of this policy, which will apply to all new builds.
P14A (4) should be deleted. It is unnecessary because of Govt’s proposed changes to Building Regs Part R.

Council’s viability testing does not take into account digital infrastructure within the testing and, as such, it should be evidenced that this will not render development unviable.
Confirmation that digital infrastructure provision allows for viable development
