To support the delivery of sustainable communities, we will ensure that suitable provision is made for new or improved infrastructure, required to meet the levels of growth identified in the Development Plan.
Developers will be required to contribute to the reasonable costs of:
- enhancing existing infrastructure or
- providing new physical, social and green infrastructure
Contributions are made through either:
- financial contributions (by means of planning obligations)
- direct provision of such infrastructure on-site within the development
To secure this we will use:
- Section 106 agreements
- Unilateral Undertakings
- planning conditions
Supporting infrastructure should be provided in advance of, or alongside, the development, unless there is sufficient existing capacity. The appropriate phasing for the provision of infrastructure will however be determined on a case by case basis.
We do not operate a Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) in Dover and there are no plans to adopt one.
