In addition to the provision of on-site affordable housing, public open space & play areas, as part of any planning permission that may be granted by Dorset Council, financial contributions will be made to a number of local infrastructure improvements through what are referred to as planning obligations.
These are secured by the Council through the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) and via a legal agreement known as a S106 agreement which also covers other matters such as the future management of any communal areas within the development, including the open space.
