The policy proposes to “only permit development if there is, or will be, sufficient infrastructure capacity to support and meet all the requirements arising from the new development, at the time when they are needed.”
Detailed assessment of the infrastructure requirements arising from the development strategy promoted in the Local Plan will be essential to demonstrate the quantity, nature and location of infrastructure provision or improvements needed. It is agreed that this should be informed by an infrastructure delivery plan to demonstrate how and when the essential infrastructure provision will be provided to ensure that new developments do not create additional strain on existing infrastructure within Greater Cambridge or in surrounding areas. The infrastructure delivery plan has not yet been published and therefore no further comment can be made at this time.
