Infrastructure issues, such as school provision and access to local shops and services, will need to be assessed during the next stage of the Plan process, the advantage of allocating 'strategic' sites, rather than a more dispersed approach to housing development, is that 'strategic' sites can provide new infrastructure as part of the development. The introduction of Community Infrastructure Levy could direct funds towards specific infrastructure needs such as the provision of new schools, hospitals etc. It may also be appropriate, at this stage, for the Council to investigate potential for introducing the Community Infrastructure Levy, which would help to identify and provide funding for specific infrastructure schemes.
