The human version (we wrote this, not the council)
This policy requires developments to provide, or pay towards, the infrastructure needed to cope with the extra demand they create. Permission will only be granted where adequate infrastructure capacity exists or will be provided, taking account of the Infrastructure Delivery Plan and the combined impact of other committed schemes, while supporting twenty-minute neighbourhoods served by public and active transport. On-site provision is preferred; where that is not feasible, financial contributions will be sought, limited to what is necessary, directly related and fairly proportionate to the development.

Policy ID.1
Securing Infrastructure Provision
Development proposals must provide, or contribute towards, infrastructure
necessary to accommodate the additional demands which arise as a result. Planning
permission will only be granted where:
a. It can be demonstrated that adequate infrastructure capacity exists or will be
provided so as to mitigate harms arising from a proposed development, having
regard to the Infrastructure Delivery Plan and taking into account both site-
specific requirements and cumulative impacts arising from other committed
development, whilst creating twenty-minute neighbourhoods enabled by public
and active transport modes and infrastructure.
b. Proposals make appropriate contributions towards the delivery of relevant
infrastructure. The preferred approach for infrastructure delivery is via on-site
provision. Where this is demonstrably unfeasible, financial contributions
towards local and strategic infrastructure to meet the needs arising from the
development will be sought. The Local Planning Authority will seek to secure
infrastructure which is necessary to make the development acceptable in
planning terms, directly related to the development, and fairly and reasonably
related in scale and kind to the development proposed.
