New development proposals must ensure that adequate infrastructure capacity is available to meet the needs of future occupiers and not intensify existing deficiencies, in accordance with details set out in the Council’s Delivery DPD and Infrastructure Delivery Plan. The necessary infrastructure should be put in place in a timely manner, and, where appropriate, prior to the occupation of the development.
