Original consultation
We are seeking your views on changes to building regulations to require gigabit capable connections in all new homes across Wales.
Consultation description
The proposals will amend building regulations guidance: part R (physical infrastructure for high-speed electronic communications networks). This will require developers to ensure:
- all new build homes are installed with the gigabit-ready physical infrastructure for gigabit-capable connections
- a gigabit-capable connection is installed in a new build home subject to a £2,000 cost cap per dwelling
- or where a gigabit-capable connection is not being installed, the next fastest broadband connection is installed without exceeding the £2,000 cost cap
