1.1 The success of this AAP will primarily be measured against whether the vision for the area is achieved. It is important, therefore, that proposals in this Plan are both deliverable and viable within the Plan timeframe. The Council has set out the infrastructure improvements needed to support the regeneration of Aston, Newtown and Lozells in Table 4, page 58. Delivery of the AAP proposals are, however, dependent on a number of factors including economic growth, commercial interest, site constraints, development costs, the amount of investment received from partners and availability of public sector funding. The Delivery Plan in Table 5, page 61 represents the current understanding of the main proposals. However, as new priorities are identified, the Delivery Plan may need to be adjusted and must be seen as a "working document" in order to maintain its effectiveness.
2.1 The Aston, Newtown and Lozells AAP has been developed in partnership with a wide range of stakeholders over the last few years and the Council will continue to work with key stakeholders in developing and delivering the objectives of the AAP. The AAP provides the necessary framework for co-ordinating investment and action across all partners.
2.2 The City Council is prepared to use compulsory purchase powers where necessary, in circumstances where the promoter of the development has secured adequate funding to support the compulsory purchase. The City Council will also use its own land to support projects, which may include selling sites to developers.
3.1 In terms of planning obligations, these may require the developer to carry out certain prescribed works to provide appropriate infrastructure and other measures (e.g. requiring that a certain proportion of housing is affordable); and/or mitigate the negative impacts of a development and to ensure that it makes a positive contribution to the communities within which it is situated (e.g. through environmental mitigation measures and increased public transport provision). These types of obligations, in line with Planning Obligations Circular 05/05, are identified in Table 5. Future planning contributions will also be in accordance with a Community Infrastructure Levy being brought forward by the Council for implementation from 2014 onwards.
3.2 The infrastructure to be delivered through planning obligations will be agreed after market viability appraisals have been prepared. Developers will be required to underwrite the cost of market viability appraisals and enter into agreements to cover the cost of compliance monitoring throughout the lifetime of the obligation.
3.3 Another important element of the regeneration is the provision of local employment opportunities to help reduce the local unemployment rate. The use of targeted employment strategies to link training to employer demand and the use of the local workforce in the construction phases of development on major developments will also need to be secured through Section 106 agreements.
In accordance with the policies set out in the Birmingham UDP 2005 and Birmingham Core Strategy Consultation Draft, contributions will be sought for:

TABLE 4 Infrastructure Requirements
4.1 Table 5 sets out a Delivery Plan indicating the delivery agencies to be involved and indicative timescales, for each of the proposals in the AAP, including public realm enhancements and transport schemes. The broad timescales included are indicative and subject to change following development of detailed schemes. Sites that are indicated in the first five years are either those where the Council is the landowner and will be directly influencing the development of land, or otherwise where developer or landowner intentions are known and are being encouraged or facilitated by the Council. Those programmed for the 5-10 year period are those sites where the Council is confident that the land will come forward for development, but where there is either some known constraint, such as land assembly that first needs to be addressed, or currently no developer interest. Those indicated for the 10-15 year period are those which will require complex land assembly and public funding. Those which span the life of the AAP from 0-15 years are a combination of the above or are general policies which apply throughout the Plan period.
4.2 The planning and phasing of development needs to be carefully managed so that disruption to residents and businesses is kept to a minimum and services and facilities are provided at the right time. The estimated development phases are detailed in the Delivery Plan in Table 5.
5.1 The AAP sets out an ambitious agenda for change in Aston, Newtown and Lozells. Some of the more complex and major developments such as the RIS are likely to take 15 years to complete. The AAP therefore needs to set out a flexible approach. The Delivery Plan is not intended to be a rigid blueprint for development, but rather a framework to guide and coordinate individual development projects to ensure overall integration.

TABLE 5 Delivery Plan
6.1 The objectives and policies in the AAP, once adopted, will be monitored every year to check the progress of the Plan. This will also ensure that we are delivering sustainable development and that the policies are working as intended.
6.2 Table 6 sets out the monitoring framework which will be used to measure the progress of the AAP towards meeting its objectives and policies. A number of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) have been identified, which will be refined over time and linked to appropriate targets. These targets will then be reported through the Annual Monitoring Report.
6.3 Due to the AAP coming forward prior to the adoption of the Core Strategy, it is the Council's intention to review the monitoring framework as soon as the Core Strategy is adopted.
