  • Hsuk National Network Development
    HSUK NATIONAL NETWORK DEVELOPMENT These diagrams set out the vision of an enhanced national railway network, based around the High Speed UK core network of dedicated high speed lines. NND1 : EXISTING UK RAIL NETWORK This identifies the incomplete connectivity offered by the existing intercity rail network. Main lines radiate from London (East Coast, Midland, West Coast, Great Western) with CrossCountry and TransPennine providing interregional connections. These interregional routes comprise multiple city pairs, greatly increasing their viability, whereas the London-centric system comprises single city pairs. Connectivity is assessed against the benchmark requirement of direct services operating at minimum hourly frequency. Many of these services between regional centres comprise short and often ageing multiple units offering cramped passenger accommodation, not of ‘intercity’ quality. NND2 : HS2 PROPOSALS SUPERIMPOSED ONTO EXISTING UK RAIL NETWORK The HS2 proposals are illustrated in ‘extended Y’ format, extending either side of the Pennines beyond the currently projected terminating points of Leeds and Manchester to all primary regional centres. The resulting system is of limited connectivity, focussed upon London with few viable interregional links; it is also segregated from the existing intercity railway, with high speed stations disconnected from regional ‘hubs’, and intermediate centres left bypassed. This restricted connectivity will compromise economic (and environmental) performance, with most benefits accruing in London where connectivity is concentrated. It will also create a 2-tier system, compromising the basic integrity of the national rail network, and preventing efficient development of rail links within the Northern Powerhouse. NND3/4/5 : HIGH SPEED UK SUPERIMPOSED ONTO EXISTING UK RAIL NETWORK High Speed UK’s blend of new build and upgraded routes, and its radically different ‘spine and spur’ configuration gives comprehensive connectivity between all primary regional centres of the Midlands, the North and Scotland.

    MIDDLESBROUGH COUNCIL LOCAL PLAN - HOUSING INFRASTRUCTURE DELIVERY PLAN MARCH 2014 Contents 1. Introduction 3 2. The Local Plan - Housing 4 3. Infrastructure planning - legislative, policy and wider context 5 4. Methodology 8 5. Scoping 9 6. Baseline infrastructure assessments 12 7. Infrastructure delivery schedule 45 Appendix A Housing allocations 59 Appendix B Mobile telecommunications sites in Middlesbrough 61 2 1. Introduction 1.1 Produced in line with national planning policy (see paragraphs 3.2 - 3.4 for more details), this Infrastructure Delivery Plan (IDP) provides details of infrastructure needed to support future growth as a result of the Local Plan - Housing, including the type, timing and potential costs of infrastructure. 1.2 The IDP is intended to be a 'living' document, with its content monitored on a regular basis (in all likelihood alongside the Local Plan Annual Monitoring Report [AMR]) and updated as appropriate, in order to reflect changing circumstances, including when any new Local Development Documents (LDDs) are produced as part of the overarching Local Plan. To remain up-to-date, a flow of information from (internal [i.e. Council) and external) service providers to the Planning Policy team will be required on a regular basis. 1.3 The IDP does not include every infrastructure project planned in Middlesbrough or provide a list of planning obligations; it only includes those that will help to deliver the development (i.e. housing) proposed by the Local Plan - Housing or contribute towards the creation of sustainable communities. It does, however, identify areas where gaps in provision exist or are likely to exist over the plan period.
