What criteria are used for exclusion of properties from Superfast Cymru?

The request was partially successful.

Dear Welsh Government,

As we approach the completion of the Superfast Cymru Fibre-to-the-premises scheme for Gower, it is apparent that some properties have been excluded, even when in close proximity to others that have been included.

I therefore request a copy of all documentation relating to how the decisions were made about which properties should and which should not be included within the Superfast Cymru scheme. In particular this should include (but not be limited to):

1) Details of the objective criteria used for the inclusion/exclusion decision-making process

2) Details of any consultations (with both private bodies and councils and community councils) which may have informed the decisions

3) The results of the decision making process as it relates to Gower (to include a full list of the included and excluded properties)

For the avoidance of doubt, I am NOT requesting details of the commercial arrangements made between the Welsh Government and Openreach, and I do not therefore expect any information to be withheld on the basis of "commercial sensitivity".

Yours faithfully,

Dave Harvey

Welsh Government
