Draft Planning Obligations SPD

Representation ID: 28565

Received: 14/07/2014

Respondent: Carter Jonas

Agent: Carter Jonas

Representation Summary:

My only objection here is that the section in the strategy document on viability fails to mention that existing use value is a valid consideration when considering viability. We have had experience of projects that are not viable on the basis of a "full" planning obligation package (including affordable housing) on the basis that the existing use value of the site was too great. This is an important point which the strategy document should recognise.
