So will Mr & Mrs Challis be putting up the necessary funds to improve the roads so that these can accommodate their football customers as well as the airport's passengers and the hapless local residents who also might care to use the adjacent roads in this area...?? Somehow, I doubt it!
This is where local planning authorities need to be on the ball with Section 106 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990. This section allows the collection of monies from developers to be included in Planning Conditions to provide for improvements in affected infrastructure.
To quote a government website....
Section 106 agreement
Section 106 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 allows a Local Planning Authority (LPA) to enter into a legally-binding agreement or planning obligation, with a land developer over a related issue. The obligation is sometimes termed as a 'Section 106 Agreement'.
Such agreements can cover almost any relevant issue and can include sums of money.
S106 Agreements can act as a main instrument for placing restrictions on the developers, often requiring them to minimise the impact on the local community and to carry out tasks, which will provide community benefits.
This is an area that some Councils are a lot better at than others. It needs Council Officers to be knowledgable of the Act and to have the confidence to succesfully implement the Act where situations deserve.
