Press Release
Draft Planning Obligations Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) public consultation
Date: 6 January 2023
Brentwood Borough Council is currently consulting on a draft Planning Obligations Supplementary Planning Document (SPD).
This new SPD aims to set out a clear position to developers, landowners and stakeholders, detailing the scope and scale of planning obligations as they apply to different types of development.
It provides detailed advice on developer contributions, including the negotiation of Section 106 agreements and detailed considerations on a range of infrastructure, including affordable housing, transport, outdoor sport and open space. Developer contributions are important for the communities affected by development and a key purpose of this document will be to assist developers in making planning applications that fit the required criteria.
The consultation closes on the 19 January 2023. The easiest way to view and comment on the draft SPD is through our online consultation portal.
Paper copies of the consultation documents are available to view at Brentwood Borough Council Town Hall and at both Brentwood and Ingatestone libraries, during normal opening hours.
Comments received during this consultation will be considered and used to inform the final SPD which will be reported to our relevant council committee for adoption later this year.
