Mobile telecommunications
F. The Council will support the growth of new
mobile telecommunications networks and will
work alongside network providers to improve
existing systems. New residential and
employment developments should facilitate
advancement in mobile communication networks
at the planning stage and be clearly identified
within the Planning Statement that supports a
relevant application. The Statement should
outline who the intended network provider(s)
will be and ensure that mobile connectivity is in
line with OFCOM regulated levels.
G. The Council will ensure that new infrastructure
makes use of existing sites and structures
wherever possible. Any applications for new
telecommunications infrastructure will be
expected to demonstrate that mast or site
sharing is not feasible and that the equipment
cannot be sited on an existing building or other
appropriate structure that would provide a
preferable environmental solution. The applicant
must demonstrate there is an overriding need
to provide additional structural capacity to take
account of the growing demands for network
development, including that of other operators.
H. Applicants will be required to consult with NYCC
and recognised mobile network providers from
the outset to ensure the needs of the service
can be introduced alongside other onsite
infrastructure works as part of new residential
and commercial developments to ensure the
most efficient and viable approach is taken to
secure 4G & 5G mobile connectivity in line with
OFCOM regulated levels.
I. Consideration must be given to the future
demands of network development, including
that of other operators. Every opportunity to
future proof mobile provision and infrastructure
should also be taken. It is important to ensure
that developments are well laid out and designed
to be future-proof, in order to enable upgrades
and expansions to the networks without negative
impacts such as road works, or the expense
associated with retrofitting.Proposed Modifications Version 2 - Jan 2019 Harrogate Borough Council 19

follows:
6.40 Access to broadband is a vital component of
infrastructure in today's world. It is key to growing a
sustainable local economy, vital for education and home
working and increasingly a central part of community
cohesion and resilience, particularly in rural areas.
Broadband connectivity across the plan area varies
considerably. Government initiatives aim to enable 95%
of the UK to receive far greater speeds (at least 24 Mbps)
by 2017. The digital Communications Infrastructure
Strategy initial target was to ensure that by 2017,
superfast coverage reached 95% of premises in the
UK. the current stated Strategy ambition is that
ultrafast broadband of at least 100Mbps should
become available to nearly all UK premises. In
addition the European Commission, through the Digital
Agenda for Europe, anticipates 100% coverage of 30
Mbps broadband or more by 2020 and that over 50% of
households will have a subscription to broadband
connection in excess of 100Mbps. Therefore the
definition of Next Generation Access used within this
policy is defined as a broadband service that provides
a download speed in excess of 30 Mbps and with the
capability to meet future targets of speeds in excess
of 100mpbs as detailed in the digital Agenda for
Europe.'
6.42 This policy indicates that all development will
enable Fibre to the Premises broadband where viable, to
meet future targets of 100Mbps. The definition of Next
Generation Access used within this policy is defined as a
broadband service that provides a download speed in
excess of 24 Mbps

of the UK. Good mobile coverage helps businesses
to grow and people to stay in touch. This is essential
for social inclusion, and of particular importance for
people who are vulnerable or isolated. People are
increasingly using mobile connectivity to access the
internet, as more and more people own Smartphones
and tablet devices.
6.48 There are some rural locations without coverage,
known as 'not-spots', where it is impossible to make
or maintain a mobile connection.
6.49 The Government’s Digital Communications
Infrastructure Strategy expected that by 2017, mobile
operators will have achieved 4G coverage to 98%.
6.50 Occupiers of new residential or employment
premises now often expect a high mobile connectivity
as a utility similar to the provision of electricity or
water.
6.51 When developers are planning for new housing
or commercial developments the provision for
appropriate 4G/5G mobile phone coverage (in line
with OFCOM regulated levels) should be included
within the development. If it is included as part of the
planning conditions for the developer, then it would
be included as part of the development costs. The
advantages of this approach:-
Developments are not built with no or poor
mobile phone coverage/fibre installed
The marketing value of the properties increase

visually obtrusive in either the street scene or the
