Next steps for the LDFNext steps for the LDF

The Site Allocations DPDs willPropose much needed sites for homes, particularly

affordable homes, and jobs3000 houses and 40 hectares of employment land

in towns and villages by 2026With support infrastructure programmed and sites

reserved where needed

“The right sites in the right places for the right reasons”

Next steps for the LDFNext steps for the LDF

Site selection is based on evidenceAvailability of land (SHLAA) Sustainability of sites (STA) Ability to service sites with infrastructure (SID)

Stakeholder panels deal with each of theseWith an added design dimension through the

Prince’s Foundation’s EbD workshops

“Sites must be shown to be available, sustainable, serviceable and deliverable”

Next steps for the LDFNext steps for the LDF

In December 2008 the Partnership set up an infrastructure delivery group

That group has prepared the infrastructure delivery programme to support the DPDs Site related infrastructure – access, utilities, flood

measures, local green space, etcCommunity infrastructure – affordable homes,

education, health, police, public realm, etc Strategic infrastructure – new roads, schools, sports,

public transport, flood schemes, etc

Next steps for partnersNext steps for partners

Sign off the Infrastructure Delivery Programme as key evidence showing that infrastructure will be in place to support the DPDs

Make representations to support the DPDs Lead and/or proactively participate in
