Core Policy 6: Local Infrastructure Needs

Existing physical, social and Green Infrastructure will be protected (unless it is clear that it is no longer needed, or alternative appropriate provision is made elsewhere). The Council will work in partnership with service and infrastructure providers to ensure new or improved infrastructure is delivered where and when it is needed, including that set out in the Infrastructure Schedule (see Appendix 6).

Existing facilities and services which serve older people will be protected. The provision of additional facilities and services for older people will be supported, where opportunities arise through redevelopment in sustainable locations.

New development will be required to provide for the necessary infrastructure needs arising from the proposal, either directly or via an appropriate financial contribution. The Council will use planning conditions and obligations where appropriate to secure the timely provision of essential infrastructure directly and reasonably related to a development.

The Council will also work with infrastructure providers, local communities and other key stakeholders to develop a Community Infrastructure Levy, as a further source of funding for improvements in local infrastructure.
