Infrastructure & Transport (Adur) - Adur & Worthing Councils

Infrastructure can take many forms, it can be defined in physical, green and community terms, and is essential to support the Council's objectives of increased housing provision, economic growth and mitigating climate change, as well as creating thriving and sustainable communities. Planning and delivery are the means by which these infrastructure needs are identified and planned for, and how it then comes about.

Infrastructure Delivery Plan (IDP)

The Council has prepared this Infrastructure Delivery Plan (IDP) alongside the Submission Adur Local Plan (2017) and forms part of the evidence base which supports it. The delivery of the right levels and type of infrastructure is essential to support new homes, economic growth and to protect the environment. It is important to note that the IDP is a mechanism for identifying the future infrastructure requirements of development proposed as a result of the Adur Local Plan.

As a 'live' document, the IDP will continue to be monitored, developed and updated, to support the Local Plan to, and beyond, its adoption.
