Point 3 refers to site specific planning obligations being sought where appropriate. Point 5 refers to Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) developer contributions being used to fund strategic infrastructure. Point 6 notes that planning obligations from more than one development may be pooled to fund infrastructure. The Policy does not make reference to the Infrastructure Funding Statement to help inform these judgements regarding the use of planning obligations and pooling. This is unsound.
The PPG states that where CIL is in place for an area, charging authorities should work proactively with developers to ensure they are clear about the authority’s infrastructure needs. Authorities can choose to pool funding from different routes to fund the same infrastructure provided that authorities set out in the infrastructure funding statements which infrastructure they expect to fund through CIL.
