Part 6 of the Policy should be more explicit. Rather than an ‘expectation’ that policy compliant contributions should be made based on viability, the Local Plan should state policy compliant contributions must be made and have been thoroughly tested to ensure that its draft allocations and infrastructure requirements are deliverable.

The ‘South of Gartree Road Strategic Development Area’ is not listed in Policy DS05 as a cluster of development and so it appears that a Joint Infrastructure Framework is not required. On the basis that this is a cross-boundary and strategic allocation, our client considers that a Joint Infrastructure Framework should be required under Policy SA02 to ensure a coordinated approach to infrastructure provision arising from the allocation and to ensure confidence and certainty as to where funding is expected to be sourced from (and equally where it is not to be sourced from).

The site abuts our Client's site and is of key significance.
SA02 Part 2: It is not clear what the ‘mechanisms’ will be, nor what the timing or requirements for the Phasing Strategy will be. Clarity should be provided.
It is crucial that our client's proposed allocation within OWBC can come forward independently with being prejudiced by the infrastructure requirements or viability constraints associated with the adjacent cross-boundary allocation.
Requirements for our client's site are set out in policy AP6 of OWBC's Draft Plan. While collaboration with the Council is welcomed to ensure comlementary development, our client's site should not be required to contribute to infrastructure required to deliver SA02.
