Delivery and Provision of Infrastructure in the Reported Year This section of the IFS details infrastructure that has been delivered and completed in Waverley during the reported year. It is envisaged that this will give the community a better understanding of how developer contributions have been used to deliver infrastructure within the Borough.

Education Farnham Heath End School: Surrey County Council reported that the expansion project at Farnham Heath End School was delivered during the report year. This project involved the construction of a building to accommodate a sports hall, eight classrooms and associated facilities.

˙

Highways 20mph Scheme: Surrey County Council reported that the Rowledge 20mph scheme was delivered during the reported year. The scheme aimed to reduce speeds through the village, as well as improve safety for pedestrians. It will involve new signage and road markings, including a vehicle activated sign, 20mph road markings, and a “build-out” in The Long Road.

12

Flood Alleviation Godalming Flood Alleviation Scheme: The Godalming Flood Alleviation Scheme was completed during the reported year. This flood alleviation scheme consisted of a 525 m sheet pile wall, clad with timber along the bank of the Hell Ditch with associated landscape works. The estimated £4.5 million scheme was developed as a partnership project between the Environment Agency, Surrey County Council, Waverley Borough Council, Godalming Town Council, Thames Water, Scottish and Southern Electricity and the local Godalming Flood Group.

Utilities Scottish and Southern Electricity (SSE) Networks: SSE Networks invested approximately £4M of capital funds during the reported year, in maintaining and improving the electricity distribution network within the . The majority of the investment was across Low Voltage and 11 kV networks, which involved overlaying existing ‘end of life’ cables, replacing existing substation assets, refurbishing and automating overhead line networks and further reinforcement projects to improve the overall performance of the network. SSE Networks also undertook a project to refurbishment two Primary (33/11 kV) transformers at their Godalming Primary substation.

Scotland Gas Networks (SGN): It was not necessary for SGN to reinforce or upgrade their existing network during the reported year for the purposes of supporting new or existing development within the Waverley Borough Council area. However, the connection arm of

13

SGN, SGN Connections, installed new mains infrastructure a number of sites and locations within Waverley during the reported year.

Superfast Surrey Programme: The Superfast Surrey Programme is a partnership between Surrey County Council (SCC) and BT to deliver faster broadband to premises that are not included in commercial rollout plans. The programme was started in 2012 and is due to end in December 2020. Waverley Borough Council does not fund any part of the Superfast Surrey Programme.

Future Developer Contributions The section of the IFS report also provide an estimate of future income from developer contributions; it is envisaged that this will give communities a better understanding of how infrastructure may be funded in the future. It also sets out future spending priorities on infrastructure and affordable housing in line with up-to-date and emerging Local Plan policies. It sets out types of infrastructure that the authority intends to fund by CIL or planning obligations. It is envisaged that this should provide clarity and transparency for communities and developers on the infrastructure and affordable housing that is expected to be delivered in the borough of Waverley. It should be noted that this will not dictate how development contributions must be spent but sets out Waverley Borough Council’s intentions.

CIL Projected Income As established during the CIL Examination in 2018, Waverley Borough Council estimates that CIL income is projected to be in the region of £94.6 million for the remainder of the Local Plan period (until 2032).

Future Infrastructure This section of the IFS sets out the Council’s future spending priorities on infrastructure and affordable housing in line with up-to-date and emerging Local Plan policies. This will not dictate how development contributions must be spent but sets out Waverley Borough Council’s intentions. Affordable Housing Waverley Borough Council will require affordable housing provision on development sites in accordance with Local Plan Part 1 Policy AHN1, with the exception stated in the paragraph below. Policy AHN1 requires a minimum provision of 30% affordable housing on all housing developments where at least one of the following applies: o In designated rural areas developments providing a net increase of 6 dwellings or more. o In non designated rural areas developments providing a net increase of 11 dwellings or more. o Developments that have a maximum combined gross floorspace of more than 1000 sqm. The thresholds in Policy AHN1 were set in accordance with and to reflect previous national planning practice guidance. Since the adoption of Policy AHN1 in February 2018, the Government has revised the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) (2019), whereby affordable housing is required on major developments, which are defined as developments of 10 or more new homes or where the site has an area of 0.5 hectares or more. Therefore, the Council will be applying the thresholds set out in the NPPF (2019). On developments in rural areas where the net number of dwellings is fewer than 11 units, the contribution may be in the form of a payment equivalent to the cost of providing 30% on-site provision, commuted until after the completion of the units within the development. In all other cases, on-site provision of affordable housing will be required and only in exceptional circumstances will an alternative to on-site provision be considered.

15

In all cases where on-site provision is being made, the mix of dwelling types, sizes and tenure split should reflect the type of housing identified as being required in the most up-to-date evidence of housing needs and the Strategic Housing Market Assessment, having regard also to the form and type of development appropriate for the site.

As detailed by Local Plan Part 1 Policy AHN2, where there is a genuine local need for affordable housing which cannot be met in some other way, small scale developments of affordable housing may be permitted on land that is within, adjoins or is closely related to the existing rural settlement, subject to the detailed requirements of Policy AHN2.

Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) Waverley Borough Council will seek to fund the following infrastructure types through CIL. CIL will be expected to partially, or wholly, fund the provision of or improvement to the following types of infrastructure:

• Transport infrastructure: including new and/or improved highway and transport infrastructure or services, in respect of: the strategic road network, local road network, rail network, rail stations, bus stops, and cycling and walking networks) • Education infrastructure: including schools and pre-schools • Leisure and community facilities: including: children’s and young persons’ play areas, playing pitches, indoor and outdoor sports provision, leisure centres, recreational open space, libraries, community centres and health facilities • Environmental improvements: including those relating to: strategic flood infrastructure, pollution abatement, visitor facilities, and the public realm) • Public Services: including recycling and emergency services infrastructure • Habitats Mitigation: The provision of new Suitable Alternative Natural Greenspace (SANG) as part of the Thames Basin Heaths SPA avoidance and mitigation measures

In accordance with Local Plan Part 1 Policy ICS1: the provision of SANG will be prioritised as items of essential Green Infrastructure to avoid the adverse impacts of development on the Thames Basin Heaths SPA and, where appropriate, the Wealden Heaths SPA.

Section 106 Planning Obligations & Other Sources It is envisaged that the following will be primarily funded by Section 106 Planning Obligations or secured through other sources:

• Strategic Access Management and Monitoring (SAMM) • Contributions towards the management and maintenance of existing SANG. • Measures to secure mitigation/avoidance in the Wealden Heaths SPA. • Transport improvements that are directly related to a specific development. • Education improvements that are directly related to a specific development • Leisure and community facility improvements that are directly related to a specific development • Environmental improvements that are directly related to a specific development • Public service improvements that are directly related to a specific development • Site specific mitigation and infrastructure requirements at the Aerodrome strategic allocation have been and will be secured via Section 106 agreement as the site has been zero rated (Zone C) in the Waverley Borough Council CIL Charging Schedule. • On-site provision of Affordable Housing.
