5.5 Policy DEL1 (Infrastructure Provision) sets out that new developments should be supported by the necessary on and off site infrastructure to serve its needs and mitigate its impact. The policy goes to state that development will only be permitted if all necessary infrastructure is provided. Paragraph 57 of the NPPF makes clear the tests which must be met to deliver lawful planning obligations. Policy DEL1 should be revised to identify these key tests set out in national policy to ensure all obligations required by DEL1 are properly justified.
5.6 Similarly, Criterions 4 and 5 refer to viability assessments. These should also reflect paragraph 58 of NPPF which sets out national policy in regard to these matters and that particular circumstances can justify the need for a viability assessment at the application stage.
