The human version (we wrote this, not the council)
This section accompanies the policy on securing infrastructure provision. It restates the core tests: development must show that adequate infrastructure capacity exists or will be delivered to offset its impacts, guided by the Infrastructure Delivery Plan and cumulative effects from other committed schemes, while helping create twenty-minute neighbourhoods. It confirms the preference for infrastructure built on site, with financial contributions towards local and strategic infrastructure sought only where on-site delivery is shown to be unfeasible.

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.
