Respondent: Essex County Council
Legally compliant? Yes
Sound? No
2. Not Justified
ECC acknowledges that the provision of Early Years and Childcare (EYCC) facilities on employment sites can be beneficial to the development, increasing the attractiveness for employees. However, the most recent ECC Developers’ Guide to Infrastructure Contributions (updated 2020) no longer specifically requires the delivery of EYCC facilities (and/or contributions) as part of proposals for employment development. Whilst ECC would encourage the provision of a 56 place facility to be delivered on-site to support employees, we cannot insist on this requirement being a prerequisite for the development. Criterion 2.a. of Policy E11 should be deleted.
