Greater Cambridge Local Plan: Proposed Submission

It is requested that the wording is amended to ensure liability is not solely placed on the developer to provide digital and telecommunications infrastructure (as in part 6).

Policy I/DT sets out how developments should contribute to Greater Cambridge’s access to broadband, telecommunication infrastructure and smart infrastructure.
For telecommunications infrastructure, part 6 requires for schemes of 30 or more dwellings to include suitable infrastructure that would support any future rollout of appropriate telecommunications equipment such as small cell mobile communications technology or mobile masts and towers.
However, the comments raised by CIP previously have not been taken into account.

CIP do not object to the principle of the policy but request the wording is updated to ensure full responsibility is not placed on the developer to provide the appropriate infrastructure.
