Revised Planning Obligations SPD

Consultation closed at midnight 27th November 2023. Thanks to everyone who took part.

What was consulted on?

We carried out formal consultation on the Revised Planning Obligations SPD. This is a planning document that provides more detailed supplementary guidance to our Local Plan policies. This draft SPD supersedes the previous Planning Obligations SPD which was adopted in June 2023. The draft SPD was revised so that it can be adopted alongside OPDC’s CIL charging schedule. The revisions focus on removing those infrastructure elements which will now be principally funded through CIL rather than Section 106 contributions, once the CIL charging schedule is adopted.

You can find more in the SPD itself and in the FAQs on this page.
