What do we want to do?
As well as providing homes and jobs, the Plan makes sure that the right infrastructure is in place. This includes community facilities, schools, sports facilities and health centres. The Plan ensures that developers contribute towards the delivery of these and other types of infrastructure, such as parking improvements, open space, play spaces, public rights of way and public transport improvements.
How will we do this?
- Strategic Policy 10 (SP10): Transport Infrastructure: Sets out expectations for the delivery of new transport infrastructure.
- Strategic Policy 11 (SP11): Healthy and Safe Communities: Sets out expectations for developers to design developments with health and wellbeing in mind.
Development Management policies supporting SP10 and SP11 are:
- Policy ID1: Planning Obligations: Sets out how, and under what circumstances, developers will be asked to deliver or pay towards local infrastructure improvements.
- Policy ID2: Access, Services and Parking: Sets out guidance around access and parking for new developments.
- Policy ID3: Open space, Sports and Recreation: Sets out how, and under what circumstances, developers will be asked to deliver or pay towards local open space, play and sports facilities.
- Policy SC20: Community Facilities: Sets out guidance on preventing the loss of facilities that are important to local communities, and the building of new community facilities.
