The London Plan July 2011 – RTF version F The Mayor will work with boroughs, relevant social infrastructure providers and the voluntary and community sector as appropriate to extend proposed supplementary guidance on social infrastructure requirements, especially at the sub-regional and Londonwide levels. 3.86 Social infrastructure covers a wide range of facilities such as health provision, nurseries, schools, colleges and universities, community, cultural (Policy 4.6), play, recreation and sports facilities, places of worship, fire stations, policing and other criminal justice or community safety facilities and many other uses and activities which contribute to making an area more than just a place to live. At a more local level, other facilities may need to be provided, including informal recreation facilities (Policy 3.6), public toilets, drinking water fountains and seating (Policy 7.5). The whole range of social infrastructure has a major role to play in supporting London’s expected growth, particularly in places where significant new housing is proposed, such as opportunity and intensification areas (Policy 2.13) making residential areas more attractive and turning them into sustainable neighbourhoods and communities. It is therefore essential to plan for high quality social infrastructure alongside development particularly in major new development and regeneration areas. 3.87 Planning for infrastructure in London is complex, with a wide range of providers and stakeholders, and various degrees of clarity and opacity around future provision and funding for investment. Policies about, and responsibilities for, provision are subject to significant change. London is a city with a large diversity of neighbourhoods, communities and infrastructure and each area presents its own individual challenges. 3.88 Boroughs and local strategic partnerships have a key role in bringing together the different parts of the public, private, community and voluntary sectors to tackle priority issues including health, education, lifelong learning, community safety, housing and transport infrastructure, and access to social, leisure and cultural activities through community strategies, local strategies and agreements and other policy tools. In doing so, they may wish to develop, where appropriate, collaborative approaches to the provision and delivery of social infrastructure, and apply the following methodology: • carry out an audit of existing infrastructure taking into account the capacity, accessibility and quality of the infrastructure • identify future needs and demands on services using population and other forecasts and resources such as the findings of joint strategic needs assessment (Policy 3.17D) • identify any deficits and surplus provision based on existing and committed infrastructure • identify future requirements having regard to accessibility, models of integrated provision which use land effectively, and how provision might come forward • cost future infrastructure needs and assess available sources of funding • secure sites or buildings for future provision or reorganisation of existing provision • regularly monitor the delivery of services, availability against demand and quality of provision. Data should be shared between planning authorities and service providers to Page 98 of 310
The London Plan July 2011 – RTF version inform implementation of Policies 3.16-3.19. Open space in all its forms represents an important component of social infrastructure and its protection and enhancement is an integral part of Policy 3.16. The methodology of Policy 3.16 applies to open space, but proposals must also accord other more specific DRLP policies, namely 2.18 (green infrastructure), 3.19 (sports facilities including playing fields), 7.16 (Green Belt), 7.17 (MOL) and 7.18 (local open space). Policies in Chapter 7 relating to the Blue Ribbon Network may also be relevant. 3.89 Existing or new developments should, wherever possible, extend the use of facilities to serve the wider community, especially within regeneration and other major development schemes. Shared and extended use of facilities, including those of schools, commercial and community-based organisations can help ensure the effective use of resources and land, encourage joined-up and coherent service delivery and shared maintenance and management costs. It can also help minimise travel distances for users and encourage community participation and inclusion. Multi-use community centres that provide flexible and accessible spaces adaptable to communities’ needs should be encouraged. 3.90 Boroughs should develop a criteria-based approach to the provision of different types of social infrastructure facilities and the expansion of existing facilities, taking into account the location and layout of facilities. Facilities should be: • easily accessible to all sections of the community (including disabled people and older people) by meeting inclusive design principles • easily accessible by walking and cycling • well connected to public transport • affordable and compatible with social infrastructure service delivery plans • well laid out and flexible, so that all the space is used efficiently • safe and user-friendly • integrated with or complementing other neighbouring facilities or services as part of achieving a lifetime neighbourhood (Policy 7.1). For some emergency services infrastructure good public transport accessibility is not a high priority. 3.91 Voluntary and community groups often find it difficult to find premises suitable for their needs; unused or underused facilities should be brought into use as much as possible to help address their accommodation needs. The additional use or reuse of places of worship should be considered for the purpose of providing accommodation for use by other traditions or other faiths and/or wider community functions. POLICY 3.17 HEALTH AND SOCIAL CARE FACILITIES Strategic A The Mayor will support the provision of high quality health and social care appropriate for a growing and changing population, particularly in areas of underprovision or where there are particular needs.
