CORE POLICY 10 (INFRASTRUCTURE)

Development will only be allowed where there is sufficient existing, planned or committed infrastructure. All new infrastructure must be sustainable.

Where existing infrastructure is insufficient to serve the needs of new development, the developer will be required to supply all reasonable and necessary on-site and off-site infrastructure improvements. These improvements must be completed prior to the occupation of a new development and should serve both individual and communal needs.

Infrastructure includes:

  • Utilities (water, sewerage and drainage);
  • Transportation;
  • Education and skills;
  • Health;
  • Leisure, community and cultural services; and
  • Other relevant services.

The provision of reasonable and necessary infrastructure will be secured through planning obligations or by conditions attached to planning permissions.
