11. Next steps for the LDF • Site selection is based on evidence • Availability of land (SHLAA) • Sustainability of sites (STA) • Ability to service sites with infrastructure (SID) Stakeholder panels deal with each of these • With an added design dimension through the Prince’s Foundation’s EbD workshops “Sites must be shown to be available, sustainable, serviceable and deliverable”

12. Next steps for the LDF • In December 2008 the Partnership set up an infrastructure delivery group • That group has prepared the infrastructure delivery programme to support the DPDs • Site related infrastructure – access, utilities, flood measures, local green space, etc • Community infrastructure – affordable homes, education, health, police, public realm, etc • Strategic infrastructure – new roads, schools, sports, public transport, flood schemes, etc

13. Next steps for partners • Sign off the Infrastructure Delivery Programme as key evidence showing that infrastructure will be in place to support the DPDs • Make representations to support the DPDs • Lead and/or proactively participate in delivery of needed developments
