Securing infrastructure and contributions (SP 1.15)

Where the necessary infrastructure, works and/or contributions can be secured satisfactorily by means of planning conditions attached to planning permissions, this will be done. If this cannot be achieved, the Council will seek to secure the required works and/or contributions by means of a Section 76 Planning Agreement (or other legal agreement as necessary) before planning permission is granted. Contributions may be required towards the following matters: Transport infrastructure, including cycling and walking routes; Public transport; Open space and recreational facilities; Public realm and cultural facilities, including public art; Local neighbourhood and community facilities; The historic environment and natural heritage assets; Flood risk and sustainable drainage; Waste management; and Affordable housing.
