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 />
