Infrastructure delivery plan
An important part of creating sustainable communities is ensuring that the necessary supporting infrastructure is provided, for example, transport, open space, schools, utilities and health and leisure services.
The city council has produced an infrastructure delivery plan which provides details of the current provision of infrastructure in Salford, identifies any deficits, sets out planned investment proposals, and identifies additional future infrastructure requirements. The infrastructure delivery plan will help direct growth to the most appropriate locations, and ensure that the different economic, social and environmental infrastructure needs of the city's residents and businesses are met. The infrastructure delivery plan will also form an important part of the evidence base for the city's core strategy.
The infrastructure delivery plan has been split into a series of separate downloadable sections on individual types of infrastructure. Each section will identify:
- The baseline/current provision in Salford
- Any relevant standards that indicate the quantity/quality of the necessary infrastructure
- Any relevant investment programmes, identifying who will fund these and when they are likely to be delivered
- Where relevant, how demand for that infrastructure is likely to change in the future taking into account the planned scale of development
- The process for providing that infrastructure
Wherever possible the city council has involved key infrastructure providers in the preparation of the infrastructure delivery plan. The city council would welcome any comments on the infrastructure delivery plan and these should be posted or emailed to the address at the bottom of the page.
The infrastructure delivery plan is based on the best available information at the time of publication. However the need for infrastructure and the ways of delivering it are constantly being reviewed by infrastructure providers and the city council. Details of infrastructure deficits, standards, and investment programmes are therefore likely to change over time and each section of the infrastructure delivery plan will be updated accordingly as required.
