Planning

To consider the adoption of the Infrastructure and Developer Contributions Supplementary Planning Document.

Resolved

1.  That the Infrastructure and Developer Contributions Supplementary Planning Document, attached as at Annex 1 to the report, be adopted and replace the Infrastructure and Developer Contributions Supplementary Planning Document 2009.

2.  That the Head of Planning Policy and Economic Development be given delegated authority in consultation with the Planning Portfolio Holder, to make changes of a minor nature prior to publication.

Consideration was given to a report of the Planning Portfolio Holder which presented the Infrastructure and Developer Contributions Supplementary Planning Document (SPD).

The SPD provided a basis for securing infrastructure and financial contributions through developer obligations and would be used as a tool to secure planning obligations to mitigate the impact of development.

The Infrastructure and Developer Contributions SPD would replace the existing documents which had been adopted in 2009 and took into account relevant legislation and evidence on securing infrastructure and developer contributions.

Having considered the options and for the reasons set out in the report, Cabinet agreed to the following:

Resolved:

1.  That the Infrastructure and Developer Contributions Supplementary Planning Document, attached as at Annex 1 to the report, be adopted and replace the Infrastructure and Developer Contributions Supplementary Planning Document 2009.

2.  That the Head of Planning Policy and Economic Development be given delegated authority in consultation with the Planning Portfolio Holder, to make changes of a minor nature prior to publication.
