Connectivity Plan - Approved Document R

[Caroline]

Good afternoon everyone.

 

We live onsite in mobile home and managing our self build. We have superfast wi fi as I work in my day job from home too.

 

Building control asked for a connectivity plan Approved Doc R.

 

I sent them our current super fast broadband bill and I completed the form to

my best ability, however, they are not satisfied and say:

 

“Thank you for this.

Although the bill shows network capability is available within the site, it doesn't clarify a network provider has offered to provide a connection and which technology will be used to deliver this. I appreciate you advise a CAT6 cable will be installed, which will provide 'gigabit capable network', and you that have stated it would be full fibre wired connection however, a statement would be required from a relevant provider.

 

In addition to the above, additional information would help me assess compliance, such as schematic diagrams, location of network termination points, access points and network distribution points.

 

Please also ensure the form is fully complete, including section 5.”

 

Section 5 relates to the build of more than one dwelling (we are only building one), any advice would be appreciated.

 

Thank you in advance

If you have "Superfast" then I assume you have a temporary location for the Network provider's ONT box, perhaps on the mobile home side, or a kiosk.

If that's the case you need to contact your ISP and ask for an "ONT shift". This is chargeable, so they should arrange for the Network Provider (OpenReach etc.) to come and survey and quote them for the work, which the ISP should then advise you the cost of. 

You may not get much detail of the works to be completed, but a cost from the ISP for an ONT shift, will confirm to BC that the new poperty will have FTTP.

BC are then also asking for you for a schematic that high-lights the ONT position in the new property, they'll want to see provision for any ducting required to get to that position, a power outlet in the close viscinity and your network distribution (Router and Switch) close by.
