SKM Colin Buchanan (SKM CB) was commissioned by the London Borough of Bromley (LBB) to provide advice on, and assistance with, the preparation of an Infrastructure Delivery Plan (IDP). This is an initial draft IDP completed in July/August 2012 and further work is required on other types of infrastructure requirements (for example, green infrastructure) to inform the emerging IDP is outside the scope of this study.
The scope of this assessment was limited to the following infrastructure types:
-
Transport – road, rail and public transport (see chapter 2);
-
Education – Early Years, primary, and secondary schools (see chapter 3);
-
Primary healthcare (see chapter 4); and,
-
Utilities – electricity, gas, waste water treatment, water supply and flood defence (see chapter 5).
The study has critically assessed infrastructure requirements taking into account the implications of potential future development and forecast demographic change in order to help inform the preparation of the emerging Local Plan for the Borough. This report provides some baseline capacity data where readily available from published sources but does not provide comprehensive analyses of these baselines and datasets to establish existing infrastructure deficits provided.
