Infrastructure study

What is the Infrastructure Study?

The council has prepared an Infrastructure Study to support the production of the Local Plan, and in particular, the Strategy and Allocations documents. The main purpose of the study is to identify the various forms of infrastructure that are required to meet growth which may come forward over the period 2011/12 to 2028/29 (as set out in the Local Plan). 

What types of infrastructure are considered?

Twenty-six discrete types of infrastructure were reviewed in detail for this Study and they include:

• flood defence and drainage - flood defence, surface water drainage

• utilities - water supply and distribution, gas supply and distribution, electricity, telecommunications, sewage and wastewater treatment

• health - NHS GP services, NHS dental services, pharmacy services, hospital services

• education - pre-school and early years, primary and secondary schools, further and higher education

• leisure and amenity - sports and leisure, public open space, library services, community recycling facilities (bring sites)

• older and young person's services - older person's accommodation, services for children and families

• emergency services

• transportation - highways, bus services, rail services

Can I view a copy of the Infrastructure Study online?

Yes. An Infrastructure Study (June 2014) has been completed to support the Submission version of the East Riding Local Plan, and in particular the Strategy and Allocations Documents. The Study has been informed by the earlier Infrastructure Study (2011) and updates in 2013 and January 2014:

What is the Infrastructure Delivery Plan?

An Infrastructure Delivery Plan (IDP) sets out what infrastructure is likely to be needed to support the amount and distribution of housing and economic development set out within the East Riding Local Plan. It draws on information from the East Riding Infrastructure Study and identifies the main partners that will have a role in helping to deliver the Local Plan. A copy of the latest IDP can be downloaded below:
