Representation ID: 56165

Received: 29/07/2013

Respondent: Trilogy

Agent: Nathaniel Lichfield & Partners

Representation Summary:

Paragraph 173 of the NPPF explains that pursuing sustainable development requires careful attention to viability and costs in plan making and decision taking, ensuring that sites are not subject to a scale of obligations that would threaten the viability of delivering development.
The proposed PDCS sets out the proposed charges for different forms of development on a £s per sq.m basis. Trilogy has the following comments to make on the different charging levels and the different land uses.
The overarching context of Trilogy's comments relate to the Station Brief Area. An area that has significant infrastructure and site remediation costs associated with it. Any CIL charge applicable to any development in the Station Area requires detailed scrutiny to ensure it does not compromise Local Plan policy objectives for the Station Area.
