The UK Internet Service Providers Association (ISPA<\/a>) has called on the government to be “bold and brave<\/em>” when they publish their new Planning and Infrastructure Bill (PIB) tomorrow, which it’s hoped may contain some measures that will benefit the roll-out of gigabit broadband and 4G<\/a> \/ 5G<\/a> mobile networks.<\/p>\n

In case anybody has forgotten, the Labour Party\u2019s 2024 General Election Manifesto (here<\/a>) previously made clear that they would be making a \u201crenewed push to fulfil the ambition of full gigabit and national 5G coverage by 2030.<\/em>\u201d This was later supported by the expression of a desire for more flexibility in the planning system (here<\/a>), which might make it easier to deploy new digital infrastructure \u2013 those who oppose new telecoms poles and mobile masts will be watching closely.<\/p>\n

Naturally, broadband and mobile operators have not been shy about producing their own wish lists for what this could mean (here<\/a>, here<\/a> and here<\/a>), which often echo a strong desire for the full embracement of flexi-permits<\/a> and the cancelling of plans for street works charging. Not to mention those that continue to push for easier access to run new fibre into large residential buildings (MDUs) and the many calls for greater infrastructure sharing.<\/p>\n

Till Sommer, Head of Policy at ISPA<\/a> UK, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe rollout of full fibre gigabit broadband is one of the largest infrastructure projects of its generation, with our members already having invested more than \u00a340bn to achieve gigabit connections in 85% of premises. While this is predominantly a private sector project, the Government is right to remove barriers to planning to facilitate the connectivity gains that will power the UK for decades to come.<\/p>\n

The Bill is ambitious, especially when it comes to more traditional projects like power networks. We\u2019d love to see the same action and ambition for broadband infrastructure. Now is the time to be bold and brave, turbocharging the existing permissive and competitive planning regime via flexi permits and greater cross-governmental support.<\/p>\n

Futureproofing communications networks in this way will deliver significant economic and social benefits, and provide the foundation for the Government\u2019s digital transformation agenda.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Angela Rayner, Deputy Prime Minister and Housing Secretary, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve put growth at the heart of our plans as a government, with our Plan for Change milestone to secure 1.5 million homes and unleash Britain\u2019s potential to build.<\/p>\n

We need to reform the system to ensure it is sensible and balanced, and does not create unintended delays \u2013 putting a hold on people\u2019s lives and harming our efforts to build the homes people desperately need.<\/p>\n

New developments must still meet our high expectations to create the homes, facilities and infrastructure that communities need.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

However, so far most of the talk around the new Planning and Infrastructure Bill<\/strong> has tended to focus on other sectors, such as energy, housing and transport. At the same time, the government is also under pressure to restrict the deployment of certain types of digital infrastructure (here<\/a>), such as metal and wood poles (telegraph \/ telecoms poles).<\/p>\n

Suffice to say that while there is hope for some changes to boost digital infrastructure, it’s currently unclear precisely how much of the new bill will actually deliver on that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
