In order to ensure that the study was robust, the methodology was developed using the<br />

following guidance documents from the Department of Communities and <strong>Local</strong> Government<br />

and the Planning Advisory Service:<br />

• PAS <strong>Infrastructure</strong> Planning & Delivery Resource Book (December 2008)<br />

• Planning Policy Statement 12: <strong>Local</strong> Spatial Planning (June 2008);<br />

• <strong>Infrastructure</strong> Delivery – Spatial Plans in Practice: Supporting the reform of local<br />

planning (June 2008);<br />

• Implementing your local development framework: the integration of infrastructure<br />

and development in plan-making (April 2008).<br />

The process broadly involved desk based analysis, interviews and discussions with<br />

infrastructure providers, and discussions with those responsible for infrastructure delivery<br />

within the Council.<br />
