12 Infrastructure Provision and Phasing
In considering all applications for development, the Council will take into account the capacity of existing and potential infrastructure, including public transport, water and sewerage, other utilities and social infrastructure to absorb further development.
Development will be permitted where it can be clearly demonstrated that the necessary infrastructure already exists or can be provided, at reasonable cost and without adverse economic, environmental or social impact, prior to the occupation of the development.
Planning permission will be granted, where required, for the provision of new infrastructure or utilities as long as:
- it can be provided in a sustainable manner without causing harm to the environment of the surrounding area or the amenity and/or safety of nearby occupiers or the public at large;
- there are adequate access and servicing arrangements; and
- it would not conflict with other policies of the Plan.
