In light of the above, Officers would therefore recommend that the 40%
on-site affordable housing provision be accepted as this accords with
policy SHB/1B (9) of the Local Plan and the Developer Contributions
SPD, Policy H4 of the Regional Spatial Strategy and the NPPF subject
to 40% of the units being affordable on a 50:50 tenure split basis and the
agreement of the mechanisms for the identification and delivery of these
units to be covered by the S106 accordingly.
2.22 Community Infrastructure, Education and Local Service Provision
2.22.1 Criterion 3 of ENV1 states the Council will take account of “the capacity
of local services and infrastructure to serve the proposal, or the
arrangements to be made for upgrading, or providing services and
infrastructure”. Also Policy CS6 of the Local Plan states that in
considering proposals the District Council will expect developers “to
provide for or contribute to the provision of infrastructure and
community facility needs that are directly related to a development, and
to ensure that measures are incorporated to mitigate or minimise the
consequences of that development. In addition consideration of such
provision is covered by the Supplementary Planning Document (SPD)
on Developer Contributions.
2.22.2 In addition, Policy SHB/1B in terms of community infrastructure states
that proposals for the site must make provision for:
5) Appropriate community and small-scale local shopping
facilities, including the reservation of land for a new primary
school.
2.22.3 Circular guidance requires that such contributions are fairly and
reasonably related in scale and kind to the proposed development; are
necessary to remedy any shortfalls or adverse impacts resulting from
the proposed development; and are necessary to make the proposal
acceptable in land use planning terms.
2.22.4 In terms of developer contributions then the “Approved Development
Brief” for the wider site sets out a series of elements for consideration
by the developers and the Council in progressing schemes for the site.
2.22.5 The submitted S106 refers to education, recycling, and recreational
open space provision. Affordable housing and Recreational Open
Space have been considered earlier in this report. Taking the other
matters in turn.
Education
2.22.6 In terms of education matters then Policy SHB/1B (9) states that
proposals must make provision for “appropriate community and smallscale
local shopping facilities, including the reservation of land for a
new primary school”.
