The Planning Obligations section of the Planning
Practice Guidance was updated on Friday 15th March 2019.
The previous version of the PPG specifically
excluded infrastructure contributions being secured on
developments of 10-units or less (i.e. in line with the Written
Ministerial Statement published 28 November 2014).
However the PPG is now silent as to any threshold
below which contributions may not be sought - simply
stating that "where tariff style charges are sought or
where obligations are pooled, local authorities must ensure that
these meet the 3 tests".
The NPPF also contains no threshold for
infrastructure contributions.
Does anyone know if the WMS still represents
Governments views on the matter? Or have I missed something?
