Respondent: Countryside Properties (Southern) Ltd
The scale of any contributions required towards the provision of any greenway 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, or extent of provision of a greenway should be determined at the time at which a masterplan or development brief is prepared for a development site.
Again, we have no objections or issues of soundness regarding this policy. However, the scale of any contributions required towards the provision of any greenway 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).
