Planning & Development

 

Council Statement - Community Infrastructure Levy and Planning Obligations

 

The Executive Member announced that the Council has recently consulted on both a revised Community Infrastructure Levy charging schedule and a Planning Obligations Supplementary Planning Document. These consultations closed on the 1st May.

 

A limited number of responses were received, 8 for the CIL review and 10 for Planning Obligations SPD. Responses were received from the two promoters of the largest remaining unpermitted local plan allocation sites.

 

With regards to the CIL review, Officers will shortly be submitting all the documentation to the appointed Inspector, to commence the process of the Examination in Public. This is likely to take place over the next couple of months, and I will update colleagues once we have received word from the Inspector of timescales.

 

The Planning Obligations SPD was consulted upon at the same time as CIL. 10 responses were received. The implication of the comments, and any potential changes to the SPD are currently being considered by officers. It is anticipated that some changes will need to be made, in relation to both format and content and I will bring recommendations to my colleagues in Executive in due course.
