Interim Position Statements

These statements relate to a number of key issues and should provide a sound basis for negotiations on proposed development schemes.  

The  Interim Position Statement on Housing Provision and Housing Land Supply (pdf, 130kb) (opens in a new window) and the  Interim Position Statement on Affordable Housing (pdf, 164kb) (opens in a new window) were adopted by Cabinet on 10 January 2011 (agenda and minutes of meeting) and endorsed by Full Council on 28 January 2011 (agenda and minutes of meeting).

Since 1998 we have sought financial contributions from developers towards the provision of certain items of community infrastructure in North Dorset using the Planning Guidance Note - Planning Obligations for the Provision of Community Infrastructure (PGN) as a basis for securing such contributions.

On 7 February 2011 Cabinet adopted the Interim Position Statement on the PGN (pdf, 67kb) (opens in a new window) , which establishes that we no longer use the PGN as a basis for seeking developer contributions towards the projects identified within the PGN. (agenda and minutes of meeting.) 

On 19 December 2011 Cabinet approved a revised Supplementary Planning Guidance (pdf, 2Mb) (opens in a new window) on Planning Obligations for the Provision of Community Infrastructure.

Supplementary Planning Guidance page provides guidance on the way in which funds will be allocated to infrastructure projects.
