Identify any key viability issues that could affect infrastructure delivery, and how these could be overcome.
Set out the proposed timing of infrastructure delivery, the delivery partners and indicative costs associated with planned infrastructure provision.
Propose potential solutions to any gaps between committed and required funding.

The IDP will be used to guide the consideration of any major speculative planning applications received in advance of the adoption of the new Local Plan.

The IDP will help inform decisions on CIL spending across the District
