Decision details

Cabinet considered the head of planning’s report, which proposed the adoption of a revised developer contributions supplementary planning document.  The report set out the outcome of the consultation on the revised draft document.  Changes had been made, as a result of the consultation.  Scrutiny Committee had supported the proposed document. 

The Cabinet member recommended that the developer contributions supplementary planning document was adopted so that it could come into force alongside the revised community infrastructure rates within thecharging schedule.  This would help the council deliver the necessary infrastructure to support development across the Vale, as set out in the local plan.  Cabinet agreed, noting that the document would form a supplement to the adopted local plan. 

RESOLVED: to

(a)       adopt the Developer Contributions Supplementary Planning Document;

(b)       authorise the head of planning, in consultation with the Cabinet member for corporate services and transformation, to make any necessary further minor changes to the document; and

(c)        agree the proposed approach to preparing a separate section 106 internal protocol document, for use by councillors and officers.
