21 Planning obligations

The need to provide infrastructure, services and/or facilities to address the impact of new development will be considered by the local planning authority from the outset of the planning application process.

The Council will seek planning obligations in accordance with Circular 05/05 to ensure effective implementation of the Core Strategy.

The Council will prepare a Planning Obligations Supplementary Planning Document to provide further guidance on the likely type, scale and priority of planning obligations and the methodology for calculating formula based obligations, where it is appropriate to do so.
