014 - Grey and digital infrastructure
Preferred Option:
Include a policy that sets out how and when development proposals are expected to contribute to, or deliver the infrastructure required to meet identified needs.
Make specific reference in the policy to the Infrastructure Delivery Plan (IDP) and set out a selection of specific infrastructure projects.
Support the use of on- and off-site contributions and identify appropriate delivery mechanisms (e.g., S106, S278, CIL) to support the timely delivery of infrastructure.
Alternative Option 1: Do not include a policy that supports infrastructure delivery in new development.
Require the provision of high-speed digital infrastructure (integration of gigabit ready physical infrastructure, future proofed construction to allow for integration if not immediately available) in all development, including residential, employment and conversions.
Alternative Option 1: Have no specific policy on digital infrastructure, rely on national planning policy.
