9 Infrastructure and Implementation<br />

9 Infrastructure and Implementation<br />

9.0.1 Ensuring there is sufficient infrastructure to support a development is vital to achieve<br />

sustainable development and enable <strong>Islington</strong> and London to function and be a good place<br />

to live.<br />

9.0.2 Infrastructure provision refers to a wide range <strong>of</strong> infrastructure, including in relation to:<br />

transport and public realm, open space, sport, leisure and recreation, community, play<br />

space, education,health, utilities, emergency services, and climate change adaptation and<br />

mitigation. This list is for illustrative purposes and is by no means exhaustive.<br />

Policy DM 51<br />

Infrastructure<br />

A. To ensure development is sustainable permission will only be granted to development<br />

that clearly demonstrates there will be sufficient infrastructure <strong>of</strong> all types to support it.<br />

B. The council will identify the requirements for infrastructure through the infrastructure<br />

delivery plan, community infrastructure levy or other similar mechanisms and Supplementary<br />

Planning Documents such as the Planning Obligations (S106) SPD (2009). The Site Specific<br />

Allocations document details known infrastructure requirements for specific sites.<br />

C. Other infrastructure may be required that is not covered by the council's obligations,<br />

charges or plans. It is the responsibility <strong>of</strong> the applicant/developer to identify what other<br />

infrastructure is required and ensure its timely provision.<br />

9.0.3 Applicants can ensure they have identified what infrastructure is required by early liaison<br />

with the council and other infrastructure providers. Applicants should consulting with all<br />

relevant utilities providers (and the TfL London Underground Infrastructure Protection<br />

team where relevant). Applicants should ensure there is adequate water and waste water<br />

supply capacity both on and <strong>of</strong>f the site to serve the development, and ensure that the<br />

development will not lead to problems for existing or new users. It may be necessary for<br />

developers to fund studies to ascertain whether the proposed development will lead to<br />

overloading <strong>of</strong> existing infrastructure.<br />
