Minutes:
Background:
This report provided details of a revised Guide to Developer Contributions Supplementary Planning Document (SPD). The report stated that in the four years since the guide was adopted, much of the information had changed including new sections on affordable housing, waste and recycling. The draft Guide reflected current requirements but did not increase the overall level of contributions sought.
The report also provided some information on the emerging Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) and it was noted the Guide for Developer Contributions would become obsolete once the Council becomes a CIL charging authority by 31 March 2014.
