Policy DM75: ‘Development contributions, Community Infrastructure’

We consider that this policy should be substantially revised; it must explain correctly the difference between s.106 and CIL.

For example, the policy text currently states that planning obligations will be entered into through s.106 in order to mitigate the impacts of a development proposal. Following the adoption of CIL this text would need to instead refer to the future role for s.106 in delivering site-specific contributions.

The LPA will need to ensure that Policy DM75 is capable of being appropriately applied, and that the policy correctly reflects the CIL Regulations and the Council’s intentions in relation to the adoption of CIL.
