ODPM, 2005, Planning Policy Statement 1: Delivering Sustainable Development
The Core Strategy should be supported by evidence of what physical, social and green infrastructure is needed to enable the amount of development proposed. The infrastructure planning process should identify, as far as possible, infrastructure needs and costs; phasing of development; funding sources; and responsibilities for delivery (PPS12 para 4.9)
LPA’s should ensure that infrastructure and services are provided to support new and existing economic development and housing. (PPS1, Para 23)
LPA’s should ensure integration between forward planning and investment by the utilities companies and the planning system. (NW RES p.42)
Ensure the city regions critical infrastructure will sustain our economic growth (covers both infrastructure and transport(MAA Building Block 7 p81)
Develop a robust understanding of critical infrastructure, strengthen accountabilities and improve the security of supplies and by investing in measures to make it fit for purpose for a low carbon, resilient and growing economy (GM Strategy p45).
WATER SUPPLY (Also see Water and Flood Risk)
Development should be located where there is spare capacity in the existing water supply and waste water treatment, sewer and strategic surface water mains capacity, insofar as this would be consistent with other planning objectives. Where this is not possible development must be phased so that new infrastructure capacity can be provided without environmental harm (RSS Policy EM5)
Complete the West East Link pipeline stretching across Merseyside and Greater Manchester, at 55 kilometres it will carry up to 100 million litres of water a day and will improve reliability of supply (Planning for the future p3).
LA’s to promote a more integrated approach to delivering a better environment through land and water management, including better relationship of new development to water resources, flood risk and adaptation to the impacts of climate change; (RSS, Para 5.14).
It is economically critical to ensure continued water quality and supply and to reduce the risk of flooding to households and businesses in Manchester, Salford and Liverpool (Atlantic Gateway p.26)
ENERGY SUPPLY (Also see Energy)
Ensure a wide range of energy sources are developed (Energy White Paper, Para 1.14)
Maintain reliability of energy supplies (Energy White Paper, Para 1.18)
Ensure a significant proportion of the energy supply of substantial new development is gained on-site and renewably and/or from a decentralised, renewable or low-carbon energy supply. (PPS: Planning & Climate Change, para 22)
