the IDP? It identifies South Lakeland District Council’s (excluding Lake District and Yorkshire Dales National Park Authorities) infrastructure needs for the adopted local plan period (currently up to 2025), arising from new planned development as well as other necessary requirements, and important projects It is an update of the 2014 Infrastructure Delivery Plan (IDP): (THIS LINK HAS NOW BEEN DEACTIVATED) taking into account the emerging Arnside and Silverdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty Development Plan Document It considers a range of infrastructure needs including transport, water supply, wastewater and its treatment, energy, telecommunications, utilities, green infrastructure, health provision, education provision and social care, taking into account ability to meet forecast demands It sets out the potential costs, funding sources and delivery mechanism associated with these infrastructure needs It is aligned with other strategies and Infrastructure Plans at a Cumbria wide level – including the Cumbria Infrastructure Plan 1.2 What influence does it have? The IDP: Helps to inform decisions regarding programmes of funding to support delivery of infrastructure Helps to inform delivery programmes of key agencies responsible for providing the infrastructure Provides a framework for the prioritisation of potential Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) funded schemes and informs the types of infrastructure to appear on the Regulation 123 List Provides a framework for seeking of developer contributions to fund infrastructure Helps to inform how communities may wish to secure funds to help support delivery of infrastructure in their area Helps to improve lines of communication between key delivery agencies and the local planning authority The document is ‘live’, in that it will be regularly updated to reflect changing circumstances and needs. This current version is subject to the outcome of consultation with service/infrastructure providers and parish/town councils and will be updated to reflect any feedback received. 4 1.3 Spatial Areas 1.3.1 The IDP has been re-structured based on separate geographic areas of the district. It contains information about infrastructure that relates to different parts of the district as follows: District-wide infrastructure: covering all types of infrastructure and relevant strategies and
