Respondent: Countryside Properties (Southern) Ltd

Representation Summary:

Whilst we do not object to the allocation of a 1.1 ha site on land to the west of Rayleigh for a Primary school, it must be made clear that the level of contribution we make towards such a facility should be reasonably related to the impact of any development of the land. Circular 5/05 and the emerging/published DCLG guidance on the use of CIL, makes it clear that new developments/contributions from new development can not be used to resolve existing deficiencies (only, proportionally, those deficiencies made worse by new development).
