Infrastructure planning

Delivering viable infrastructure and a robust evidence base
 
Effective infrastructure planning needs:
- a robust and credible evidence base
- delivery strategy
- monitoring
- flexibility
Roger Tym & Partners plays a leading role in developing infrastructure plans and strategies for local authorites. We have carried out several ground-breaking studies to help identify, cost and fund the infrastructure required to support proposed growth areas. 
 
Under the new Planning Policy Statement (PPS)12, Core Strategies need to be based on sound infrastructure delivery planning.   They should be supported by "evidence of what physical, social and green infrastructure is needed to enable the amount of development proposed for the area, taking account of its type and distribution".  This should identify:
  • infrastructure needs and costs
  • phasing of development
  • funding sources
  • responsibilities for delivery.
