We welcome the inclusion of a strategic policy relating to Infrastructure and New Development. In areas where additional capacity is required in our infrastructure to accommodate growth but where no capital investment is planned through our AMP programme, developers can progress improvements to provide the necessary infrastructure themselves, with the necessary funding secured either via the S106 planning obligation process or under the requisition provisions of the Water Industry Act 1991.

The HBF suggests some additional wording is added to the following paragraph:

3.13.6 On-site provision is the preferred option, particularly for obligations such as affordable housing and recreational spaces. Where necessary, the developer will be responsible for the future upkeep of the obligation. Development should not take
place before the infrastructure needed by its occupants is in place "or in agreement with a phased approach based on agreed triggers". Unless otherwise stated, there are no exceptions.
