I know, I know, perhaps yet more wasted paper and civil servant overtime but if we engage them then things might happen. Let's take it to them in memory of George! =0

Can you clarify what the issue is?

No specific issue as such, just bringing to the attention of the forum that the new draft city plan is out to public consultation and that we should engage with it and send in tonnes of ideas and constructive support. :eek:

Dopey planners have no plan to expand the MAN or to MANDATE developers to provide carrier neutral ducting into premises ( business or residential) in order to provide for FTTH or indeed any future broadband requirements.

Even MONAGHAN includes this in its county development plan. You may email your comments to planning@galwaycity.ie

http://www.monaghan.ie/websitev2/download/pdf/planning/developmentplan2007-2013/FinalPrintedVersion/Chp%208%20Dev%20Manage%20Guidelines.pdf

All new housing developments shall require the following
ducting for future provision of broadband and services:
2 No. 110mm diameter Upvc pipes from the entrance of the
Estate along the main reservation of the Estate access roads.

These ducts are to be chambered at the start point, finish
point, at every change in direction and at intervals no
greater than 250 metres.The chamber size is to be 1,200mm
x 600mm. Where possible, the duct network should be
designed as resilient which may require the laying of ducts
at either side of the road.

A single duct branch connection is to be extended off the
spine duct network described above to each individual
dwelling. A 600 x 600mm chamber shall be installed along
this duct at each group of four houses. From this chamber 1
28mm sub-duct shall extend into each dwelling to a point
near the consumer unit. The length of sub-duct is not to
exceed 100 metres. (Draw ropes to be included).

The design of the network described above is to be presented
to the Local Authority for approval prior to commencement
of work onsite.

Metropolitan Area Network - cable or optic fibre bandwidth in urban areas

will be emailing to push them for best standard and that god-awful civil service phrase 'future-proof'.
