Draft Local Plan Review

Representation ID: 3967

Received: 17/02/2017

Respondent: Taylor Wimpey

Agent: Barton Willmore Planning

Representation Summary:

Agree in principle.
Note obligations should be in line with national guidance and 3 statutory tests.
Agree with review of CIL as part of viability work for Submission Version.
Suggested addition to policy:
Allow for negotiation on some developer contributions and the mechanisms for doing so, e.g. a standardised viability assessment undertaken by the District Valuer or individually appointed Chartered Surveyor.
Would ensure robustness of policy to ensure development is not threatened by viability, and therefore would reinforce the principles of sustainable development.
