Preliminary Draft Charging Schedule

Representation ID: 53297

Received: 22/07/2013

Respondent: Hallam Land Management and William Davis

Agent: Marrons

Representation Summary:

Paragraph 1.4


Table 6 of the 'Revised Development Strategy' sets out a range of transport mitigation measures which will be required to support the proposed level of housing required in the District over the plan period. It is assumed that funding for a proportion of these improvements will be sought through the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL).

Paragraph 87 of the Community Infrastructure Levy Guidance (April 2013) states that when a local authority introduces a CIL "section 106 requirements should be scaled back to those matters that are directly related to a specific site, and are not set out in a regulation 123 list".

It is imperative that the Council recognises this requirement and avoids "actual or perceived double dipping, with developers paying twice for the same item of infrastructure" (paragraph 85 of the CIL Guidance refers).

A number of the proposed transport mitigation schemes are located in close proximity to land south of Gallows Hill, which is being promoted by Hallam Land Management and William Davis. The future development of this land may 'directly' impact upon some of the junctions set out in Table 6 of the 'Revised Development Strategy'. Therefore, should improvements to these junctions be included as part of the Regulation 123 List, regard should be given to this in respect of the potential section 106 contributions that are sought from the development.
