Draft Planning Obligations SPD
Representation ID: 28513
Received: 11/07/2014
Respondent: Savills
Agent: Savills
3.6.2
Savills request that, in the interests of clarity, the last sentence of this paragraph is amended to reflect that planning obligations can only be negotiated for items directly necessary for the purposes of that development.
We appreciate that the Reg 123 list can change over time where the local planning authority can add an infrastructure project to where CiL funds could be targeted and could remove one where it had been completed. However it is inappropriate to remove projects in order to those to be the subject of separate obligation and thus attract more funds. That is totally unacceptable.

Additionally we have concerns about the intention behind this text.
