This needs to be future proofed. Eg no gas connection, orientation of roofs to allow PV panels, car charger points, porous driveways, cycle paths to town centre, etc. The new green agenda needs to be embedded.

These categories fine tune the specifics of the obligations and thus render the basis of any allotment of funds more transparent.

Respondent: Leicestershire County Council

Yes – With reference to point 1.3 (and at all other reference points in the document that refer to the LCC Planning Obligations Policy), for clarity, if the Leicestershire County Council Planning Obligations Policy (2019) should ever be updated, it would be appreciated if its reference could be updated throughout the document to read;

Leicestershire County Council Planning Obligations Policy, 2019 (and subsequent revisions)

Respondent: LUTTERWORTH TOWN COUNCIL Parish Council

Yes. It is fair to say that the scope of Section 106 contributions is clear. Whether local parishes think that it goes far enough or is flexible enough to deal with changing needs throughout the life of the creation of the development is a different matter.

Respondent: Highways England

The SPD is intended to inform developers, landowners, infrastructure providers and local communities about the approach Harborough District Council takes to secure community infrastructure and affordable housing through planning obligations.

We note however that the reference to National Highways as one of the infrastructure providers that will be consulted on planning applications has been removed with only Leicestershire CC being referenced in relation to Highways and Transportation. Given
the M1 routes through the district with the A5 forming a boundary, and with our statutory role in the planning process, we consider that National Highways should be included as a key infrastructure provider.

As before, we also note that developer contributions will still be sought for the provision and funding of additional or renewed infrastructure, which includes highways and transportation, to create additional capacity in order to satisfy the demands arising from developments and to make them acceptable. We welcome this and the opportunity to be engaged at an early stage in site specific discussions.

Respondent: West Leicestershire CCG

The LLR CCGs are supportive of the vision set out in the policy and would want to work collectively with you to understand in more detail how the local NHS can contribute to its delivery. Many of the themes identified in the policy will impact upon the wider determinants of health and as a result population health outcomes. We would therefore welcome working together to maximise opportunities to improve the health and wellbeing of the population.

Respondent: Leicester City Council

Section 2.9 – refers to the two-tier system in the County, with responsibilities set out for
the District and Boroughs, and County being mentioned as responsible for highways.

Reference to Leicester City is required as being responsible for all functions in the City (including Highways), and 3rd party contributions may also be sought for infrastructure if there are impacts within the City where development is near the City boundary.
