SI11 – Utilities Infrastructure

Major development proposals should be supported by robust evidence of capacity within the existing utilities network (for water, sewage, electricity, gas and broadband) to accommodate the proposed development without a negative impact on existing residents and users. This should be in the form of confirmation from the relevant authority. Where providers are unable to provide such confirmation, applicants must provide impact studies of the extent, cost and timescale for any required upgrade works and a commitment to work with relevant parties to secure those upgrade works.
