Broadband Connectivity Assessment
Demonstrate connectivity capability with clear evidence that your development supports superfast or full-fibre broadband, helping satisfy planning expectations.
Why Broadband Connectivity Matters
Broadband access is now viewed as an essential utility for modern homes and workplaces. While not always a national planning requirement, many local authorities set digital connectivity standards in their policies and may require supporting evidence at the application stage.
A connectivity assessment will demonstrate how your building development meets these expectations – giving planners, consultees, and building control confidence in its digital readiness.
What Our Broadband Connectivity Assessment Provides
Pager Power delivers desk-based assessments that review broadband availability and infrastructure options for your site. Assessments typically include:
-
An overview of internet services and infrastructure available at the location
-
Analysis of provider databases (e.g. Openreach, BT, Virgin, Sky, CityFibre) to confirm existing or planned broadband coverage
-
Feasibility review of full-fibre or other future-proof technologies for the development
-
Guidance on ducting and in-building connectivity options.
-
Consultation with providers where necessary to clarify deployment potential.
Support can also be provided post-construction to confirm that systems deliver expected speeds and meet any planning or regulatory conditions.
