Taunton Deane Planning Obligations
(Draft Supplementary Planning Document)

The draft SPD has been prepared by a team of consultants on behalf of the Borough Council.  It sets out the Council's approach to planning obligations (also known as Section 106 agreements) in respect of delivering major proposals in Taunton town centre, and generic contributions towards services and infrastructure that will be required from housing sites.  The objective is to provide greater clarity to local authority officers, developers, landowners, designers and other interested stakeholders.  The SPD, when adopted, will be used as a material consideration in determining the appropriateness of any development proposal and planning application.

Consultation

The Draft Planning Obligations SPD was consulted on from Friday 6th June to Thursday 17th July 2008.
