We recognise that all development proposals should provide appropriate on and off site infrastructure
requirements.
This is subject to those requirements meeting the CIL tests.
Where infrastructure goes beyond that necessary to mitigate the impacts arising from development, this
should be offset against other development management requirements, and/or put in the planning balance
as a matter of significant weighting.
We are very concerned that the SWLP is advancing with infrastructure requirements not yet identified, to
be delivered by sites in spatial growth locations where yield and capacity is not specified. It is impossible at
this stage to establish the viability – and thus deliverability – of sites in the spatial growth locations. This is
not a matter to be deferred to the Publication Consultation (this being the final consultation prior to the
SWLP being submitted for examination).
We consider that infrastructure requirements and site capacity be the subject of detailed work prior to any
work progressing on the Publication draft SWLP. The detailed work should be in collaboration with site
promoters so as to bring forward genuinely deliverable site options. The process should be workshop
based, with a Statement of Common Ground prepared for the first workshop meeting and updated for each
subsequent workshop – to get to an agreed position by way of an iterative process. In so doing, the SWLP
can be progressed and put to examination with a suite of completed SoCG’s underpinning each chosen
site within the spatial growth locations, such that the Councils can be confident about the deliverability of
each site and thus the soundness of the SWLP as a whole.
