B-FD 3: Improvements to General Infrastructure
New developments will be required to provide or contribute to infrastructure requirements that are related to them. Such improvements may include:
- infrastructure that is required as an integral part of the development such as roads, pavements (including appropriate provision for people with disabilities) and essential utilities will be secured by the imposition of planning conditions that will require provision prior to the occupation of the relevant phase of development.
- where new development would generate noise that would give rise to significant adverse impacts on health and quality of life, or would be adversely affected by existing noise sources, such as the A3 trunk road, appropriate measures to mitigate the harm will be required.
- off site infrastructure such as highway improvements to mitigate congestion or harm to road safety, or the provision of essential services, such as health and education, will be secured through section 106 agreements in accordance with the legal tests or through the Community Infrastructure Levy when it is introduced.
