This policy sets out the need for applicants to submit a ‘‘Connectivity Statement’ with a planning application to demonstrate how their proposed digital infrastructure will meet policy requirements’ set out within the policy. This covers broadband, mobile phones, small cell mobile communications technology and publicly accessible Wi-fi. The latter three points provide thresholds of development that trigger the need for this information, but the first point on broadband does not. Whilst it is assumed that the intention of this is to therefore apply to all development, clarity should be provided.
