Our Work Programme

In 2009 the Board agreed to undertake a project to examine rural deprivation.  The project looks at what data is currently available to help identify instances of deprivation and considers where and how services need to be better targeted to address this.  Reports on the findings of the project will be presented to the LSP Board later this year, the findings will also be made available on this website.

The LSP has also agreed to assist with a pilot project to help develop an Infrastructure Delivery Plan for the Local Development Framework.  Wealden District Council, with support from the Planning Advisory Service, will develop a delivery plan that, initially, will set out how the infrastructure required alongside the Local Development Framework Core Strategy will be put in place.  The plan will be a living document, part of an on-going process of engagement with infrastructure providers on the planning and delivery of key services.  It will be an important tool to draw together partners' capital spending budgets and plans, to map out capital assets and look at opportunities for shared delivery of services. 

The plan will cover what physical, social and green infrastructure is needed to enable the amount of development proposed for the area, taking account of its type and distribution.   It will also set out who will provide the infrastructure and when it will be provided.   More information on such plans is available from the Planning Advisory Service website.

A background paper (pdf, 561kb), setting out the on-going dialogue with bodies involved in the regulation and delivery of infrastructure relevant to Wealden District and the Local Development Framework was published as part of the Core Strategy Consultation in July 2009.  The Infrastructure Delivery Plan builds on this work.  Copies of the July 2009 consultation documents can be found here.
