Chapter 3. Methodology<br />

Overall Approach<br />

3.1 The overall approach to infrastructure planning in <strong>Runnymede</strong> has been guided and<br />

informed by the Surrey Improvement Partnership Surrey <strong>Infrastructure</strong> Capacity<br />

Project 7 . It has also been influenced by the former PPS12 and good practice guidance,<br />

including ‘A Steps Approach to <strong>Infrastructure</strong> <strong>Plan</strong>ning and <strong>Delivery</strong>’ (June 2009),<br />

published by the <strong>Plan</strong>ning Advisory Service (PAS) 8 . The seven steps included in this<br />

guidance are set out in Table 3 below, together with commentary on how infrastructure<br />

planning in <strong>Runnymede</strong> is taking account of the guidance.<br />

Step<br />

Commentary: The <strong>Runnymede</strong> Approach<br />

Step 1:<br />

Vision/Policy Context<br />

1.1 Set out the long-term vision for the<br />

area.<br />

1.2 Establish a sustainable community<br />

strategy delivery strategy.<br />

Step 2:<br />

Governance<br />

2.1 Set up a group for infrastructure and<br />

asset management / establish working<br />

arrangements and engagement between<br />

stakeholders.<br />

• Overarching vision being established in emerging<br />

Sustainable Community Strategy (SCS).<br />

• Spatial planning strategy is emerging as part of Local<br />

<strong>Plan</strong>.<br />

• Local <strong>Plan</strong> acts as a <strong>Delivery</strong> <strong>Plan</strong>.<br />

• Key <strong>Infrastructure</strong> Providers Workshop (KIPW 2010)<br />

acts as spring board for RBC engaging with broad range<br />

of delivery agencies.<br />

• Re-tasked LSP to be focused on infrastructure provision<br />

and delivery following KIP Workshop<br />

Step 3:<br />

Evidence Gathering<br />

3.1 Undertake a resource overview.<br />

3.2 Identify existing public sector capital<br />

programme commitments and private<br />

sector developments.<br />

3.3 Identify existing public service delivery<br />

outlets and potential for joint use.<br />

3.4 Use public sector assets as resources<br />

base for local area regeneration and<br />

redevelopment.<br />

• A resource overview is being developed by way of a<br />

number of studies that form part of the evidence base for<br />

the Local <strong>Plan</strong> (for example the SAR, Strategic Housing<br />

Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA), Local Climate<br />

Impact Profile (LCLIP), and former PPG17 Assessments)<br />

(local assessment still required).<br />

• Public sector capital programmes are identified in<br />

consultation with delivery agencies and reported in the<br />

IS.<br />

• Future private residential investment identified in<br />

Housing Trajectory as presented in the Annual<br />

Monitoring Review (AMR).<br />

Climate Change Risk Assessment<br />

3.2 The Climate Change Act 2008 9 provides a legally binding framework for the UK to cut<br />

carbon emissions and improve its ability to adapt to climate change. It also requires the<br />

Secretary of State to report to Parliament every 5 years on the assessment of risk<br />

posed to the UK by the impacts of climate change. The “UK Climate Change Risk<br />
