Report of Head of Strategic Planning and the Economy

Summary

To approve the commencement of a consultation on the Developer Contributions document.

Recommendations

The Executive is recommended:

(1)               To authorise a consultation on the Developer Contributions document.

(2)               To endorse the additional actions proposed to strengthen s106 monitoring.

Recommendations approved

The Head of Strategic Planning and the Economy submitted a report seeking approval the commencement of a consultation on the Developer Contributions document.

In introducing the report, the Lead Member for Planning advised that the document would apply to planning applications for 10 or more dwellings and all commercial developments.

Resolved

(1)               That a consultation on the Developer Contributions document be authorised.

(2)               That the additional actions proposed to strengthen s106 monitoring be endorsed.

Reasons

The Developer Contributions document was agreed by the Executive as a basis for negotiation in May 2011. It was not consulted upon at that time due to the changes to the Planning system being introduced at that time. A public consultation on the document is an important means of ensuring all views have been taken into account and that its purpose and content is appropriate.
