Bristol Development Framework Infrastructure Delivery Programme

Bristol Development Framework
Infrastructure Delivery Programme
1. Introduction
1.1 The purpose of the Bristol Infrastructure Delivery Programme is to outline the
key infrastructure requirements needed to support the scale of growth put forward
in the Core Strategy, and to provide an overview on how delivery will be planned and
monitored.
1.2 The infrastructure planning process provides the opportunity to identify what
is needed to implement the Core Strategy and how it is to be provided. This
document is based on information currently available and must be able to respond
to changing needs and circumstances over the plan period; as a result it is
anticipated that it will be regularly updated to ensure that it responds to changing
circumstances and developments. Consequently this is a ‘live’ document that will
take account of changes as they come forward, with regular updates and an annual
review.
1.3 There are two principal parts to this document:
• Firstly, a narrative, exploring the infrastructure needs arising from the growth
proposed in the Core Strategy, and
• Secondly, a detailed schedule of infrastructure projects, which is based on a
combination of publicly available information and direct engagement with
key infrastructure providers (see paragraph 9).
2. Development and Infrastructure Priorities
2.1 As described in the Core Strategy, the council’s spatial priorities for
development and related infrastructure can be described briefly as follows:
