Core Strategy Preferred Options (Revised October 2008)

Representation ID: 4445

Received: 18/12/2008

Respondent: Martin Dawn Plc

Agent: Savills

Representation Summary:

We understand the need for consistency in calculating planning charges, however, are concerned that the standard formula referred to in Policy CLT1 does not allow for flexibility dependant on individual site circumstances. The policy states that the requirement to pay standard charges may be reassessed and modified where actual provision of infrastructure or facilities is provided as part of the development. Whilst I agree with this, there needs to be a further comment that where the developer can demonstrate that certain charges are economically unviable there is the potential for negotiation.
