Infrastructure Development Plan (currently in draft form) and in Neighbourhood
Plans.

The Levy will normally be spent on infrastructure schemes in the local area of the
scheme that generated it. Once a Neighbourhood Plan is in place, 25% of the Levy will
be paid directly to the Village Council for investment in the parish.
The Village Council and the Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group have identified a list
of various infrastructure requirements and improvements to community services that
would support new development during general community engagement and
consultation for this Plan. The list will help the Village Council to decide how to invest
funding received from the Levy, once the scheme is in place.

Background to some of the requirements has been given elsewhere in the Plan. Some
of the items will be harder to provide than others and some will require facilitation by
or support and /or funding from other organisations or authorities. The list will be
reviewed from time to time, but currently includes:

Local Facilities and services
 Improvements at Village Centre (Village Hall) to include provision of disabled
access to kitchen, and construction of a new Village Council Office and meeting
room. The Village Council currently rents office facilities and needs a dedicated
office. It owns the Village Centre and having its offices there would create a
central community hub in the village. (Construction of office and meeting room
commenced summer 2015)

 Improvements to Recreation Ground Pavilion and field

 Improvements at John Pears Field, including facilities such as an improved play
area, adult exercise equipment, dirt jumps for bmx bikes.

 Provision of allotments

 Establishment of a satellite GP surgery within the village

Road safety improvements

 Footpath through John Pears field to top of Wall Hill Road. This would make it
safer for pedestrians who currently have to walk along Wall Hill Road where
there is no pavement and a dangerous bend.

 Village gateways and traffic calming schemes

 Safety improvements at School Lane/ Maypole Road junction

 20 mph speed limit introduction on central village roads
