Infrastructure and Planning Obligations

The infrastructure and planning obligations remain as approved under the outline application and associated S106 agreement. These are set out below;

Education

SPD 'Financial contributions towards schools' states that a financial contribution will be needed for planning applications for housing developments where: -

• The scheme provides 10 or more homes; and
• There is insufficient capacity in schools; or
• There is a need for contributions to ensure schools are in an appropriate condition

As Hoyland falls within a Masterplan area an education contribution would need to be sought for both primary and secondary provision due to the high level of planned development and the subsequent impact on school places. Based upon the indicative number of dwellings the contribution required would be: -

• Primary - 4 primary pupils at £16,000 per pupil totalling £64,000
• Secondary- 3 secondary pupils at £16,000 per pupil totalling £48,000

That would equate to a total of £112,000. Again, this would need to be secured via the proposed S106 Agreement.

Sustainable Travel

The objective of the 'Sustainable Travel' SPD is to ensure that the accessibility of new development via public transport, walking and cycling is acceptable in order to promote sustainable transport and active travel and where possible enhance the safety, efficiency, and sustainability of the transport network to meet Barnsley MBC's economic, health and air quality aspirations. This document also supports the Council's 'Zero to 40' Climate Change strategy.

The SPD requires contributions on developments of 10 or more dwellings using the calculation set out in the SPD. Based upon the indicative number of 19 dwellings a contribution of £14,250 would be required. This is another matter for the proposed S106 Agreement, therefore. The contributions will be used to help finance and deliver the programme of public transport improvements and enhancements identified in the Infrastructure Delivery Plan, the updated Barnsley Rail Vision. and other relevant documents.

The SPD also requires that 1 electric vehicle charging point (EVCP) will be provided per unit. A condition requesting the EVCP will be imposed on any permission.
