Waiving of requirements in exceptional circumstances
Requirements and obligations may only be waived as a very last resort in exceptional circumstances, with consideration given to planning gains and other social, community, economic or environmental benefits.
Only in exceptional circumstances will the removal of requirements and/or obligations be considered, as a very last resort. The nature of the proposed development may also be taken into account, where the Council take into account the other social, community, economic or environmental benefits that would be realised in granting permission for the scheme, i.e. the planning gain arising.
