Lincolnshire Local Plan Infrastructure Delivery Plan Update 1 Introduction 1.1 Overview Engie Ltd. on behalf of North East Lincolnshire Council has commissioned Ove Arup and Partners Limited (‘Arup’) to undertake an infrastructure study for North East Lincolnshire. This Study was initially undertaken in late 2015/early 2016, and published alongside the Local Plan Consultation Draft in February 2016. Since this date North East Lincolnshire Council has made minor amendments to its overall housing distribution, and therefore re-commissioned Arup in August 2016 to review the Infrastructure Delivery Plan (IDP) to reflect the changes arising from the new distribution profile. As such this document reflects these changes. The purpose of this study is to provide a technical evidence base document to inform the production of the Council’s Draft Local Plan. The specific role of this document is to offer certainty regarding the level and type of infrastructure required to deliver the planned level of housing and employment growth proposed within the Local Authority’s administrative boundary. The National Planning Policy Framework and National Planning Practice Guidance requires Local Plans to positively plan for development and infrastructure required in the area to meet spatial objectives. Local Planning Authorities must progress a proportionate evidence base for infrastructure which assesses the quality and capacity of various forms of infrastructure. North East Lincolnshire is an area of much diversity and opportunity. It is situated on the east coast of England at the mouth of the Humber Estuary, covering an area of 74 square miles (192 square km). The challenge for North East Lincolnshire is to provide sufficient infrastructure within the Local Authority area to support the proposed level of housing and employment growth, within the context of the following three drivers for infrastructure provision and demand: An ageing population with sharp declines in the number of residents in the 5 – 15 and 30 – 40 age brackets, which the Local Plan is seeking to reverse through improvements in training and employment opportunities. A strengthening employment base with significant investment in off-shore wind operation and maintenance activities at the Port of Grimsby. The unavoidable impacts of climate change associated with North East Lincolnshire Council’s proximity to the Humber and North Sea. By engaging the views of expert stakeholders, such as specialist officers within North East Lincolnshire and cross-boundary statutory providers, the Infrastructure Delivery Plan assesses the suitability of the existing infrastructure provision and define the infrastructure parameters required to meet the objectively assessed housing need and employment requirements within the Borough. | Issue | 12 September 2016 Page 1 \\GLOBAL\EUROPE\LEEDS\NON-JOBS\CONSULTING\WOW LEADS\2016\B0153 CRM 812228 NELC IDP UPDATE AUG 2016\ISSUED REPORT\V2\2016.09.12 NELC IDP UPDATE V2_FINAL.DOCX North East Lincolnshire Council North East Lincolnshire Local Plan Infrastructure Delivery Plan Update 1.2 Role of the Infrastructure Delivery Plan To achieve the overall spatial vision of the North East Lincolnshire Local Plan, including a driver to become the a nationally and internationally recognised centre for offshore renewables with elevated aspirations and greater environmental quality, the Local Authority will need to be equipped and ready for change. To align with national policy and guidance, the study considers the infrastructure requirements across the next 15 years through seeking to understand the following: The current level of infrastructure provision within North East Lincolnshire Council (and equally whether this infrastructure is currently fit for purpose to support the existing population). The level of planned and pipeline infrastructure provision within North East Lincolnshire. Whether the current and planned infrastructure scheduled to be delivered will meet the requirements for North East Lincolnshire when set against the objectively assessed housing and employment needs, and the strategic aspirations of the Overall Spatial Vision.
