Southbourne Allocation Development Plan Document - Regulation 19 Consultation
Other elements in this consultation
Appendix A – Infrastructure Delivery Plan (IDP) Update
As part of the development of the Southbourne DPD, relevant infrastructure providers were contacted to provide an update to the IDP (vis-à-vis the IDP prepared in support of the CLP) for Southbourne Parish, accounting for potential funding, project, and infrastructure requirement changes. Below represents the most up to date information provided as a result of this update. The update is predicated on the specific allocation option set out in the DPD. Some new infrastructure provision has been identified, which is a result of the DPD having identified a specific allocation, generating some specific infrastructure needs, which was not something that could be established at the time the CLP was prepared, as that was based upon a Broad Location for Development, meaning some of the more site specific infrastructure needs were not yet known. This update has been factored into the viability evidence prepared in support of this DPD. Comment

Further to a report to Development Plan and Infrastructure Panel on the 15 October 2025 , and written confirmation from Southern Water and the Environment Agency, the Thornham Position Statement has been withdrawn with immediate effect because Southern Water has confirmed funding to increase treatment capacity at the Thornham Wastewater Treatment Works. This scheme is identified as a priority and must be completed before 2030. |
