It is agreed, as advocated in paragraph 5.1.14, that sites need to be brought forward in a way that delivers sustainable communities and that infrastructure must be planned in a co ordinated way.

There is no difficulty, in principle subject to any request made of the developer being commensurate with the CIL Regulations, to the infrastructure topics covered in the RDS.

It is agreed that infrastructure requirements are likely to cover road, public transport, cycling and walking, green infrastructure, local centres, utilities and education. In relation to the latter it is unclear, within the RDS, whether secondary provision will or will not need to be provided and clarification is required on this point as the Local Plan moves forward.

In particular the infrastructure identified to come forward on the Gallagher Estates land at Lower Heathcote Farm (namely primary school, local centre and country park) can be delivered as part of the proposals
