FACILITIES |

|
| |
Introduction |
| 8.1 |
School and community facilities are important
components of civilised life, helping cement a sense of community.
The planning system should therefore aim to ensure that these important
ingredients in people's lives are integral components of the development
process. |
| |
School Sites |
| 8.2 |
There will be a need for new schools in
certain areas to cater for increased populations and to replace or
update existing buildings which are considered inadequate by today's
standards. Although it is the responsibility of Derbyshire County
Council (as the education authority) to provide new school facilities,
the Borough Council is required to protect allocated school sites
from other development. Despite the fact that school sites are shown
on the proposals map, they may not necessarily be developed in the
plan period. However, it remains essential to safeguard sites so that
they can be developed when needed. |

School provision and housing
development |
| 8.3 |
Residential developments generate a requirement
for school places and where there is no capacity in existing schools
developers will be required to make provision either via land and/or
buildings or financial contributions towards extending/adapting existing
buildings or providing new ones. This is in accordance with Circular
1/97. Contributions will be based on the Department of Education and
Skills multipliers. Developers are advised to discuss this with the
education authority at an early stage so that any contributions (if
required) can be calculated. |

POLICY C2 - SCHOOL
PROVISION AND HOUSING DEVELOPMENT |
| |
WHERE THE PROVISION OF ADDITIONAL
SCHOOL FACILITIES IS CONSIDERED NECESSARY DUE TO A NEW HOUSING DEVELOPMENT,
THE BOROUGH COUNCIL WILL SEEK TO NEGOTIATE PROVISION IN THE FORM OF
LAND AND/OR BUILDINGS, EQUIPMENT OR A FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTION FROM
THE DEVELOPER TO COVER THE COST OF PROVIDING SUCH FACILITIES, SECURED
VIA A SECTION 106 OBLIGATION. |
| |
|
| |
Community Facilities |
| 8.4 |
New development may increase demand on
existing community facilities/services, and new facilities may as
a result be required, in such circumstances the Borough Council will
negotiate with developers to meet the cost of providing additional
services/community facilities. |
|
|
| |
POLICY C3 - COMMUNITY
FACILITIES |
| |
WHERE THE PROVISION OF COMMUNITY
FACILITIES IS CONSIDERED NECESSARY DUE TO A DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL,
THE BOROUGH COUNCIL WILL SEEK TO NEGOTIATE PROVISION IN THE FORM OF
LAND, BUILDINGS OR A FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTION FROM THE DEVELOPER. THIS
WILL BE SECURED VIA A SECTION 106 OBLIGATION. |
