Treat large scale major planning applications cumulatively as a project
|
We want to establish and deliver a service that provides ‘planning performance agreements’ for large scale major developments. This will include agreeing timescales at pre-app stage as well as other elements such as direct contact officers. We will deal with these applications using a project management approach. |
Set a pricing structure. April 2016
Set a template S106 agreement with standard heads of terms. April 2016
Setting a standardised Planning Performance Agreement for future developments. April 2016
Migration of all historic S106 data into a new system. July 2016 |
Improved decision making for major large scale developments, including stakeholder engagement.
To help provide the homes we need in the need in the borough, and to deliver them in a timely manner.
This will also support employment in the borough through both large scale residential developments as well as commercial developments. |
