CP12 Infrastructure Delivery and Implementation

Working with partners, the Borough Council will ensure that sufficient physical, social and community infrastructure is provided to support the development identified in this Core Strategy and subsequent DPDs through use of integrated demand and asset management or new infrastructure provision.

The Borough Council’s Infrastructure Delivery Plan will be used to identify the timing, type and number of infrastructure projects required to support the objectives and policies of the strategy as well as the main funding mechanisms and lead agencies responsible for their delivery.

Where funding gaps for infrastructure projects have been identified, the Borough Council will, subject to viability, require developers to make a contribution toward the shortfall in funding by way of either a financial or in-kind contribution. In the short-term contributions will take the form of S106 contributions set out in a Developer Contributions SPD and in the longer term as a Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) charging schedule.

Where the delivery of development is dependent upon key infrastructure provision, that development will be phased to coincide with the release of additional infrastructure or service capacity as set out in the Infrastructure Delivery Plan. Capacity in infrastructure and services will be monitored through regular updates of the Infrastructure Delivery Plan and future infrastructure needs assessments.
