In preparing this document, we would advise that the Council has suitable regard to the provisions of Regulation 122 of the CIL Regulations23 which states:
"A planning obligation may only constitute a reason for granting planning permission for the development if the obligation is -
a)necessary to make the development acceptable in planning terms;
b)directly related to the development; and
c)fairly and reasonably related in scale and kind to the development."
We would therefore highlight again that it is critical that the Council produces a Planning Obligations Strategy SPD outlining what is included within each of these generic infrastructure types. This will ensure that Section 106 and CIL can be used effectively to secure infrastructure, without 'double dipping' occurring.
