General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

I read it earlier, yet another grand scheme with insufficient infrastructure in place It should be a condition of these developments that they contribute towards new roads.

Errrm, this is a big project and as such will impact on infrastructure in a way that cannot be controlled under good-old straightforward planning permission. As such a SEC106 will be drawn up and agreed upon, in the S106 council will request (amongst other things) a contribution toward highway upgrades from the developer. How much we pay and for what is probably still undecided and will be decided upon as the project develops, but we wont be paying for all the required highway works........or did you already know this??

BTW...Can someone tell me why the issue of roads is ALWAYS the first thing mentioned by the detractors when schemes like this are announced. Consider this......Not all the people who will use this development will use vehicles on it, but they WILL all need to use the khasi......the sewers would be my first question, specificaly....can they cope??
