Crawley, a postwar New Town and borough in the English county of West Sussex, has a wide range of public services funded by national government, West Sussex County Council, Crawley Borough Council and other public-sector bodies. Revenue to fund these services comes principally from Council Tax.[1] Some of Crawley's utilities and infrastructure are provided by outside parties, such as utility companies and West Sussex County Council, rather than by the borough council.[2] To help pay for improved infrastructure and service provision in proposed major residential developments such as Kilnwood Vale and the North East Sector, the borough council has stated that as part of the Crawley Local Plan it would require developers to pay a Community Infrastructure Levy.[3]
Originally a "quiet, prosperous area" with a population of a few thousand people,[4] Crawley was selected as the site of a New Town under the provisions of the New Towns Act 1946 (9 & 10 Geo. 6. c. 68). Crawley Development Corporation was formed in 1947[5] to establish, administer and control the town's development, including the provision of services. Sewerage, drainage, and the supply of water, gas and electricity were all planned and laid out for the town as a whole, rather than for the 13 residential neighbourhoods individually.[6] Services were prioritised early in the development process: the New Town was designated in January 1947,[5] and by 1949 the Development Corporation had surveyed the designated area,[note 1] planned and designed the required infrastructure and negotiated some contracts for their construction.[6] Because work focused on the provision of services at first, housebuilding in the new town was slow in the first few years.[8] An important feature of the master plan was the laying of sewer and utility pipes under grass verges rather than beneath roads, as was conventional in Britain; this made them more accessible and reduced disruption during improvement works.[9]
