Existing Commitments and Infrastructure Assessment

The scale of existing housing, employment and mixed-use commitments across the City is recognised and set out within the provisions of EC2 and HOU1. There is no automatic assumption that these existing commitments will be delivered, particularly where detailed analysis identifies constraints affecting the availability and deliverability of sites. Regard will be had to the site history, including existing commitments, when assessing an application and its infrastructure needs. This will take account of the requirement that all uncommitted land to be developed during the plan period will be subject to the availability of adequate infrastructure, which would include but not be limited to that supporting transport, waste, water, energy and digital services provision.
