Respondent: Countryside Properties (Southern) Ltd

Representation Summary:

We agree with the principles of this policy. However, the scale of any contributions towards such initiatives should of course reasonably relate to the impact of the development of the land in question. 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).

The extent of contributions should be determined at the time at which a masterplan or development brief is prepared for a site.
