Part R

Physical Infrastructure for High-Speed Electronic Communications Networks

Building regulations requiring new buildings (and major renovations) to be equipped with in-building physical infrastructure capable of carrying high-speed electronic communications, and a dedicated access point. Applies on a building-by-building basis: typically engaged for new dwellings, and for major renovations involving the building envelope, but not usually for ordinary domestic extensions. Implements the EU Broadband Cost Reduction Directive in England.

The buildwiz build guides walk through a UK extension in sequence and link to Part R (and every other Approved Document) at the exact stage it bites. That is usually a more productive way to use this material than reading the document cover to cover.
