Support approach of Policy I1 but there is perhaps a missed opportunity to make reference to some of the infrastructure to be covered by the IDP, particularly where funded in totality or in part via CIL. Note that a site-specific Infrastructure Plan has been prepared for Kingsham. This is welcome albeit it makes no reference to the River Lavant Flood Alleviation Scheme so it is understood that this would be a strategic matter (right and proper given the established properties at risk). Assume any and all relevant in-perpetuity costs, as described in criteria (v) have been taken into consideration in whole plan viability modelling. Similarly, trust that feasibility and costs associated with installing Gigabit-capable broadband have informed the whole plan viability modelling.
In the interest of clarity, River Lavant Flood Alleviation Scheme could be explicitly referenced in the supporting text at para.9.3. Would be grateful if ‘commitment’ to Alleviation Scheme could be drawn out in wider IDP together with an indication of programme, as well as potential upgrade works to Apuldram Waste Water Treatment Works.
