2 The Purpose of the SPDHuntingdonshire LDF | Developer Contributions Supplementary Planning Document2.8 Planning Policy Statement (PPS) 12: Local Spatial Planning 2008 states that infrastructure planningis central to the plan making process. It expects Core Strategies to be supported by evidence of whatphysical, social and green infrastructure is needed to enable the growth identified to happen."Good infrastructure planning considers the infrastructure required to support development, costs, sourcesof funding, timescales for delivery and gaps in funding. This allows for the identified infrastructure to beprioritised in discussions with key local partners. This has been a major theme highlighted and consideredvia HM Treasury’s CSR07 Policy Review on Supporting Housing Growth. The infrastructure planningprocess should identify, as far as possible:infrastructure needs and costs;phasing of development;funding sources; andresponsibilities for delivery."2.9 The East of England Plan (EEP) is the Regional Spatial Strategy (RSS) for the Eastern Region. It waspublished in May 2008 and sets the regional framework for preparation of local development documents.The EEP sets specific targets and policy requirements. It requires Huntingdonshire to deliver a minimumof 11,200 homes in the period 2001 – 2021, and provide a share of 75,000 new jobs for Cambridgeshireover the same period.2.10 The Government has indicated that it intends to abolish the RSS. It has been established that this intentionis not a material consideration for plan production, therefore until the Localism Bill is enacted and comesinto force the EEP remains part of the Development Plan.2.11 The planning policy context for planning related developer contributions in Huntingdonshire District Councilis established through the Local Development Framework (LDF) and other related documents and evidence.2.12 The adopted Huntingdonshire Core Strategy is the development plan for Huntingdonshire for the periodfrom 2009 to 2026. It sets out the District Council’s vision for the sustainable development of the District,including a policy framework for addressing the infrastructure requirements necessary to meet the plannedgrowth of the district to 2026.2.13 Core Strategy Policy CS10 sets out the contributions that may be required for infrastructure and will beapplied to all housing and commercial developments across the administrative area of Huntingdonshire.2.14 The Development Management Development Plan Document (DPD) Proposed Submission, whichduring preparation was known as the Development Control Policies DPD, will be part of the LocalDevelopment Framework (LDF) and the statutory development plan. It will support the Core Strategy andthe East of England Plan. It will set out the Council's policies for managing development in Huntingdonshireand will be used to assess and determine planning applications.2.15 The Development Management Policies reflect the spatial vision and objectives of the Core Strategy.The policies rarely include cross-references to other policies as all the policies should be read togetheralongside the policies of the Core Strategy. More site-specific policies will be introduced through thePlanning Proposals DPD that may be relevant. Where necessary, detailed guidance will be providedthrough Supplementary Planning Documents or Masterplans. The production of a Supplementary PlanningDocument on Planning Obligations to provide details on the range and level of infrastructure provisionrequired was highlighted in the section on Contributing to Successful Development as one of themechanisms, along with the Community Infrastructure Levy, for securing appropriate infrastructurecontributions.2.16 Huntingdonshire’s Sustainable Community Strategy 2008 – 2028 shows how HDC with its partnerswill build a better future for Huntingdonshire. It reflects key strategies, specifically the Local DevelopmentFramework, which will be the delivery mechanism for the spatial elements of the strategy.4
The Purpose of the SPD 2Huntingdonshire LDF | Developer Contributions Supplementary Planning DocumentEvidence Base2.17 Huntingdonshire is a focus for economic and residential growth and the adopted Core Strategy identifiesthe key directions of growth. The table below highlights the projected growth within the spatial planningareas from 2011 to 2026, including sites already with planning permission, as taken from the AnnualMonitoring Report 2010.Table 1 Dwelling Numbers across the District2011 - 20162016 - 20212021 - 2026TotalHuntingdon SPA*106715641602791Ramsey SPA*2981100408St Ives SPA*61255901171St Neots SPA*204317431000478645800Fenstanton KSC + 275125Sawtry KSC + 1191751000Yaxley KSC + 566910404880Other KSCs + 19Sites outside SPAs / KSCs1900Small sites district wide (under 9dwellings)28100281Total46574174120010031* Spatial Planning Area+Key Service Centre2.18 The main local evidence base that justifies developer contributions, and CIL in particular, is theHuntingdonshire Local Investment Framework (LIF) 2009. The LIF is a study that supports the adoptedCore Strategy 2009. It details the physical, social and green infrastructure needs arising from the plannedgrowth of Huntingdonshire to 2026 and the potential funding sources, including developer contributions,that could viably be obtained to help meet this need. The LIF is supported by a detailed viability assessmentand a CIL project list.2.19 The infrastructure needs and costs identified in the LIF have been updated as part of this work and theCommunity Infrastructure Levy implementation.
