Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) Preliminary Draft Charging Schedule and Regulation 123 List

Representation ID: 21679

Received: 26/09/2014

Respondent: Sussex Police

Representation Summary:

Sussex Police strongly support the introduction of CIL within Rother, as set out in the Preliminary Draft Charging Schedule.

The Infrastructure Funding Gap Analysis provides evidence that there is a significant funding deficit, and the proposed levy will go partway to bridging that gap and subsequently providing the infrastructure needed to support development in the Core Strategy. This infrastructure, including that required by Sussex Police, is vital to achieve safe and sustainable future communities, thus should be provided by the levy to address the impacts of future development and comply with this national and local planning policy.
