Planning Obligation - A Guide to Section 106 and Developer Contributions

Representation ID: 335

Received: 07/01/2010

Respondent: Sport England (East Office)

Representation Summary:

To address Sport England's concerns with respect to planning obligations for sports facilities (indoor and outdoor), it is requested that the following matters are considered and incorporated into a revised SPD:
* Identification of what the standards are for sports facilities as this provides the basis for justifying and calculating developer contributions for sports facilities.
* What development types in broad terms will be expected to make provision for sports facilities e.g. residential developments, employment developments, tourist developments etc
* What specific development types will be excluded from making provision for sport e.g. nursing homes, replacement dwellings, dwelling extensions etc;
* What are the thresholds for on-site and off-site sports facility provision. Cut off points are important to ensure a balance between major developments making on-site provision where viable and justified and the need to avoid lots of small scale sports facilities being provided as part of developments which are not responsive to local needs when an off-site contribution towards a strategic facility would have been more appropriate;
* Guidance on the occupancy sizes of dwellings to ensure that there is a link between the expected population of a dwelling and the scale of the contribution/provision.
* Details on the methodology for calculating developer contributions and what costs are included in the contributions.
* Details of how the Council will use pooled developer contributions to demonstrate transparency e.g. a prioritised list of community sports facility projects which help implement local strategies.

Representation Summary:

Without guidance being provided on the above matters, these matters will have to be considered on a case by case basis for every individual planning application which will be time consuming, not provide clarity/certainty to developers and the community, and the Council will be vulnerable to challenges of inconsistency and a lack of transparency. It is considered that the matters outlined above would apply to a wide range of infrastructure types, not just sport and therefore it is important that these concerns are fully considered before the SPD is adopted. Sport England has published detailed guidance on the issues that need to be considered when preparing a SPD relating to planning obligations for sport which provides detailed advice on the issues raised above.
