cumulative impact on services and resources. 7 Payment of contributions For off-site contributions, if a financial contribution is to be supplied by the developer, this will be agreed with the Borough Council as part of the legal agreement. 8 Additional considerations The Borough Council accepts that each site is different and it will take into account specific circumstances in its negotiations to optimise the affordable housing contribution and will consider any innovative solutions for the provision of affordable housing in the Borough. Developers should fully consider the financial implications of affordable housing provision before acquiring land. Failure to do so will not be accepted as justification for departing from Core Strategy Policy 11. Developers should be aware that public subsidy is very unlikely to be available to help meet the cost of providing affordable housing. On sites where 100% affordable housing is being provided by a Registered Social Landlord, consideration will be given by the Borough Council to reducing or removing other planning obligations. However, securing sustainable development will always be the Council’s primary objective. 9 Contact Planning Control Manager Development Management Oadby and Wigston Borough Council Bushloe House Station Road Wigston Leicestershire LE18 2DR Tel: 0116 2572 636 Email: planning@oadby-wigston.gov.uk 10 Last updated October 2015 5.

Therefore, the total financial contribution required per dwelling in Oadby is currently A+D +B+E = £4,250.10 per 3+ bed dwelling in lieu of on-site open space provision (2015).
