The report is seeking approval of the revision to the Regulation 123 List and Planning Obligations SPD for public consultation.

These documents set out the Council’s approach to securing and spending the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) and Section 106 and the relationship between both types of funding. The Planning Obligations SPD explains the Council’s approach to infrastructure provision in general and explains which mechanisms will be used to mitigate the impacts of development and to secure specific types of infrastructure.

Consultation allows the public the opportunity to make representations to both documents. Following consultation, the adoption of the SPD and Regulation 123 List will provide clarity for applicants and the public on how infrastructure funding will be secured through S106 and CIL.

DECISION

1.    To approve the proposals for the revisions to the Regulation 123 List and Planning Obligations SPD (as set out in Appendix A and B), for public consultation.

2.    To delegate authority to the Corporate Director of Development and Renewal to approve further consultations on both documents should this prove necessary as a result of changes in law and policy.

3.    To delegate authority to the Corporate Director of Development and Renewal, to make changes to the Revised Regulation 123 List and Planning Obligations SPD where necessary, prior to the beginning of the consultation period or any subsequent consultation.
