The National Planning Policy Guidance [NPPF] (2012) and planning policy guidance (2014) requires local authorities to plan for development and infrastructure for the lifetime of the Local Plan. The delivery of the right levels and type of infrastructure is essential to support new homes, economic growth and the creation of sustainable communities. 2. The Poole Infrastructure Plan (PiP) sets out the infrastructure requirements to support development as planned for in the Local Plan. Working with business associations, developers, local community groups, Dorset Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP), neighbouring local authorities, service providers (education, open space and recreation, culture, community and health), transport providers and utility companies, the Council has identified infrastructure needs for Poole. Where possible, the PiP sets out the infrastructure requirements to support development for the next 15 years, including the costs, sources of funding, timescales for delivery and gaps in funding1. 3. This PiP is a live document, so this document can be updated to reflect changes as infrastructure is delivered and to identify new unforeseen infrastructure needs. Purpose of the Infrastructure Delivery Plan 4. This document provides detail on infrastructure needed to support planned new development as set out in the draft Local Plan up to 2033. The draft Local Plan plans for a positive growth strategy for Poole. The scale of change envisaged will bring with it, a need to upgrade existing and to provide new infrastructure. 5. The spatial strategy for Poole is to deliver: 1 To note, the costs included in the PiP to fund required infrastructure are based on 2017 prices, are based on the best available information at the time of writing the PiP and are subject to change. The Council intends to continue to work with service providers to inform future changes to the PiP. Poole Local Plan. Poole Infrastructure Plan.
