Good Practice in the Region
Hambleton Local Development Framework
Allocations DPD
On 18 December 2009 Hamleton District Council submitted its Allocations DPD to the Secretary of State. This plan sets out the Councils proposed sites for development (e.g. housing and employment) and defines Development Limits for the main settlements in the Hambleton District for the plan period up to 2026.
It contains a Strategic Infrastructure Plan at Annex 4 which helpfully provides an overall review of the infrastructure capacity and needs of the District, and thus constitutes the Strategic Infrastructure Plan that underpins the delivery of the LDF strategy.
The Strategic Infrastructure Plan considers:
- the scale of change that needs to be accommodated over the plan period;
- the main features of the distribution of that change;
- the location and nature of such major changes
The Plan also addresses infrastructure requirements by infrastructure category, offering the opportunity to consider the adequacy of existing provision, future provision required to accommodate change, and the requirements likely to be made by individual infrastructure providers and their capacity to respond.
Lastly, the Plan takes an alternative view of the infrastructure requirements through the organisation of analysis by location, and in particular considers the particular combined infrastructure needs of the settlements and major development proposals defined in the Allocations DPD.
The full Allocations is available to download from Hambleton District Council's website.
It is worth highlighting that Hambleton intend to prepare a Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) concerning Infrastructure Delivery to supplement the Strategic Infrastructure Plan.
