4. IMPLEMENTATION

4.1 The Neighbourhood Plan will be implemented through a combination of the local planning authority’s consideration and determination of planning applications for development in the parishes, and through steering public and private investment into a series of infrastructure proposals contained in the plan.

Development Management

4.2 Most of the policies contained in the Plan will be delivered by landowners and developers. In preparing the plan, care has been taken to ensure, as far as possible, that the policies are achievable.

4.3 Whilst the local planning authority will be responsible for development management, the Parish Councils will also use the Plan to frame their representations on submitted planning applications. They will also work with the Royal Borough to monitor the success of the policies.

Infrastructure Projects

4.4 The Parish Councils propose some or all of the following projects for investment of future Community Infrastructure Levy funding allocated by the local planning authority and to the Parish Councils:

  • Sustainable drainage schemes
  • Traffic mitigation schemes
  • Enhancements to rights of way
  • Playground provision
  • Education facilities and school playing fields

This series of local infrastructure projects will be prioritised for investment from the Royal Borough’s Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) in due course. The CIL will replace the pooling of more than four S106 agreement financial contributions towards a single infrastructure project during the plan period. It will be charged on qualifying residential and commercial development. A minimum of 25% of the levy collected from development in the Parishes will be passed to the Parish Councils for investment in the Parishes. The policy provides the local community with an indication of the priorities for investing the fund to improve local infrastructure as a result of new development in the parishes.
