D3: Infrastructure

In order to support growth in the borough, the council will safeguard and improve essential social, physical and green infrastructure and work in partnership with service providers to ensure the delivery of additional infrastructure. The potential and predicted infrastructure requirements over the lifetime of the Local Plan are identified in the Infrastructure Delivery Plan.

The council will encourage dialogue between service providers and developers. Where appropriate opportunities arise, the co-location of services and joint delivery of infrastructure by service providers will be supported.

Generally, Community Infrastructure Levy will be applied, alongside other investment, to help deliver infrastructure. Site-specific planning obligations may also be used to secure delivery of infrastructure.

The council, where required and necessary, will co-produce co-operative local investment plans that identify, prioritise and cost projects to be delivered locally via agencies working in co-operation with the council or by the council itself. Projects will be brought forward as appropriate and relevant in mitigating the direct impact of development through section 106 planning obligations or the council will retain funds on behalf of the community to deliver local neighbourhood facilities and improvements through the use of a neighbourhood funding element of CIL.
