IN10.1: Integrated Infrastructure Delivery
Proposals should demonstrate a comprehensive integrated and future-proofed approach to the delivery of development and infrastructure that mitigates the cumulative impact of development, and:
- Contributes appropriately and proportionately towards required infrastructure, having regard to the latest Watford Infrastructure Delivery Plan, at a rate and scale sufficient to support the growth identified in this Local Plan;
- Where applicable, connects to area-wide infrastructure and enables future connections;
- Safeguards land to deliver area-wide or site-specific infrastructure, as identified in the site allocations and/or other policies in the Local Plan;
- Is appropriately designed so that it complements and does not unduly restrict development on adjacent or connected sites.
Developers will be expected to participate in early pre-application engagement with the Council and infrastructure service providers to discuss their requirements.
Developer contributions will be sought where needs arise, in line with the policy requirements of this plan; where provision is made on site, this will be considered in the context of other developer contributions.
