Legally compliant? Not specified
Sound? No
Proposed change requires contributions to infrastructure “as set out in the Infrastructure Delivery Plan…where such contributions are compliant with national policy and the legal tests’. We suggest there would be merit
in expressly referencing the criteria regarding a legally compliant contribution within the policy itself.
The tying of contributions to the IDP is considered somewhat problematic as it is a live document subject to change and the IDP is not subject to a level of scrutiny to ensure the contributions it demands are justified, reasonable and viable, in the same way a Local Plan or CIL Charging Schedule would be.
