Purpose

To adopt the Planning Contributions for Open
Space in New Developments Supplementary Planning Document
(SPD)

Content

Decision:
The Executive adopted the Planning Contributions for Open Space
in New Developments Supplementary Planning Document as set out in
Appendix 1 to the report.
Reason(s):

Adopting the SPD would support implementation of
adopted LPDMP Policy ID6: Open Space in New Developments.
The SPD described the types and
standards of open space required in new developments and explained,
with worked examples, how the amounts of onsite open space and
financial contributions in lieu required by the policy are
calculated. This advice would provide increased certainty to
developers. The SPD would replace extant guidance on open
space in the Planning Contributions SPD 2017.
Other options considered and rejected by the
Executive:

To reject the SPD or instruct officers to make
amendments and resubmit the document to Executive.
Details of any conflict of interest declared by
the Leader or lead councillors and any dispensation
granted:
None.
