Local plans are mandated to set strategies for new homes and infrastructure contributions
Conclusion
The Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 requires LPAs to prepare a local plan, setting strategies for meeting the need for new homes in a local area.12 The NPPF states that a local plan should set out the contributions expected from development, including the levels and types of affordable housing provision required, along with other infrastructure, such as that needed for education, health, transport, flood and water management, and green and digital infrastructure.13
