The Current Obligations System • West of England and housebuilders both want delivery • All obligations should be: • To navigate development proposals • Policy based • Pass 05/05 tests • Applicants negotiate levels of obligations • Viability is a material consideration for all obligations • Case by case prioritisation • In practice, led by Case Officer but members decision • THIS IS PRIMARILY FOR THE LA TO DECIDE
