Introduction Planning Policy Statement (PPS) 121 provides renewed emphasis on the deliverability of plans and the need for local planning authorities to demonstrate that necessary social, physical and green infrastructure is provided to support the delivery of the vision for an area – as set out in its Core Strategy. Planning Together2 stresses that place-making and the spatial planning system make the provision of social infrastructure central to the delivery of successful places and communities. It stresses that the successful planning and delivery of services requires an understanding of how they are provided and by whom, the likely needs of any new major housing developments, and collaborative working to ensure that the right blend of services are available to local communities in the right locations and at the right time, in cost and resource-effective ways.
