APPENDIX II

The draft SPD provides a template Section 106 agreement for completion alongside submission of a planning application. Whilst the bullet points specify that some details will only be required for full and reserved matters applications, the SPD should made clearer to acknowledge that some of the details required will not always be known for an outline planning application and there shouldn’t be a requirement to submit this information in these circumstances i.e. some elements, such as the overall housing mix (which is currently expected to be known with an outline planning application) will not be finalised. The SPD should also recognise that details may change during the course of the planning application.

APPENDIX III

The draft SPD sets out that a clause will be included within Section 106 agreements to manage the timescales for delivery of affordable housing alongside market housing. The timescales would require no more than 50% of the market dwellings to be occupied until 50% of the affordable houses are ready for occupation and that no more than 95% of the market dwellings are occupied until all the affordable houses are ready for occupation. There do not appear to be any provisions to deviate from this. The draft SPD and legal agreement clauses should provide site by site flexibility which enables factors, such as the scale of the site, to be taken into account.

APPENDIX III - LEGAL AGREEMENTS
The draft SPD states the standards of construction will be addressed in the legal agreement. We query the
necessity for the standards of construction to be contained within the Section 106 agreement. The approved design and plans for the development, and subsequent building regulation approvals, are the mechanisms for ensuring the necessary standards are achieved. It is considered unnecessary to provide for a further mechanism within the Section 106 agreement.
