Isle of Wight Transport Infrastrutcure Delivery Plan

The Isle of Wight Council is currently preparing a new Local Plan. National planning policy sets clear expectations as to how a Local Plan must be developed in order to be justified, effective, consistent with national policy and positively prepared to deliver sustainable development that meets local needs and national priorities.

The Local Plan should aim to meet the objectively assessed development and infrastructure needs of the area, including unmet needs of neighboring areas where this is consistent with policies in the National Planning Policy Framework as a whole. Local Plans should recognise the contribution that Neighborhood Plans can make in planning to meet development and infrastructure needs.

Project Aims:

The council require an Infrastructure Delivery Plan (\"the Delivery Plan\") to be prepared that meets the needs of new developments in a manner consistent with the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and its accompanying Guidance (NPPG). The Delivery Plan should support positively the new local development plan (Island Planning Strategy), by assessing infrastructure requirements (including requirements of neighbouring authorities where this is a relevant factor), identifying measures to meet the identified requirements and then the mechanisms by which such measures or solutions can be delivered (including financial), over the lifetime of the Island Planning Strategy (to 2034).
