Representation ID: 28554

Received: 14/07/2014

Respondent: Carter Jonas

Agent: Carter Jonas

Representation Summary:

Public art cannot be funded via CIL in accordance with the relevant legislation. Section 216 of the Planning Act 2008 defines funding infrastructure which can be provided via CIL; public art is not referenced. Public art should not in any event feature within this document as it is not suitable for inclusion in planning obligations as confirmed in the NPPG. In future it should be addressed via a planning condition and the Council could update its Public Art SPD to reflect the new rules.
