To facilities and services might be added installations. The Planning Act 2008 stated that infrastructure included: • roads and other transport facilities, • flood defences, • schools and other educational facilities, • medical facilities, • sporting and recreational facilities, • open spaces, and • affordable housing. However, while the Planning Act 2008 places affordable housing within the category of infrastructure, under the current Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) Regulations it is not currently seen as infrastructure which can be funded by the levy. 2 1.2 The government's overview of the CIL1F took the 2008 definition of infrastructure and gave examples of some of the facilities which the CIL could fund: play areas, parks and green spaces, cultural and sports facilities, district heating schemes and police stations and other community safety facilities were all mentioned.

The document will particularly help in coordinating projects managed by different organisations but relating to the same development and in relating larger individual projects to the different developments which they might serve.

  • Dorset Stour Consultation Report January 1997 V
    local environment agency plan DORSET STOUR CONSULTATION REPORT JANUARY 1997 V. DORSET STOUR LOCAL ENVIRONMENT AGENCY PLAN CONSULTATION REPORT FOREWORD This Plan represents a significant step forward in environmental thinking. It has been'clear for many years that the problems of land, air and water, particularly in the realm of pollution control, cannot be adequately addressed individually. They are interdependant, each affecting the others. The Government’s answer was to create the Environment Agency with the umbrella responsibility for all three. The role and duties of the Agency are set out in this document. This holistic approach is now reflected in this Plan. It is a logical development o f the Catchment Management Plans prepared by the old National Rivers Authority, now subsumed into the new Agency. It sets out the environmental problems of the area in a way which has not been done before, and suggests the most important issues which should now be addressed. It is, I believe, vital reading for everyone concerned with the future of this part of Wessex. The Stour is a major river influencing a large part of Dorset and small parts of Somerset and Wiltshire. It impacts on the lives of many people with different interests and priorities. The Environment Agency wants to be sure that these are recognised in its own future programme of action, and this Consultation Document seems the best way of doing this. An effective programme of action can only be developed if people read it, think about it, and then tell us their reactions. So please do not leave it on the shelf to gather dust.
