Sustainable Communities

Mr. Hollobone: To ask the Deputy Prime Minister what discussions his Department has had with the Treasury on securing developer contributions to fund key infrastructure for the sustainable communities growth strategy in Northamptonshire; and whether further legislation is required to implement the policy. [13329]

Yvette Cooper [holding answer 19 July 2005]: Officials from the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister and HM Treasury have not met specifically to discuss how to secure developer contributions for infrastructure in Northamptonshire, although work on infrastructure funding for the growth areas, including Milton Keynes and the South Midlands, is ongoing.

Local authorities may seek developer contributions through planning obligations (also known as section 106 agreements") under existing legislation. New legislation would be required for local authorities to seek contributions that go beyond the policy set out in the Government's Circular 05/2005 on planning obligations.

Mr. Lancaster: To ask the Deputy Prime Minister with which bodies in Milton Keynes he has discussed his Department's plans for sustainable communities. [13138]

Yvette Cooper: The plans for the sustainable communities have had a long gestation and have included wide community participation. Regional Planning Guidance 9(2001) recommended an interregional study should be undertaken to consider the further development of the Milton Keynes sub-region. This was followed by the Milton Keynes and South Midlands study (2002) and subsequent growth area assessments, all of which were steered by a full range of stakeholders. Sustainable communities: building for the future", published by the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister in 2003, announced three new growth areas, including Milton Keynes South Midlands (MKSM), and identified key steps for taking them forward.

All interested bodies and members of the community in Milton Keynes and elsewhere had the opportunity to participate in the formulation of the MKSM Sub-Regional Strategy, which sets out the strategic plan for the area up to 2031. The first consultations on the MKSM Sub-Regional Strategy (July to October 2003) produced 1,600 responses. There then followed a public examination by an independent panel who produced their report in August 2004. In response to the panel's recommendations my right hon. Friend the Deputy Prime Minister the First Secretary of State, via his Government Offices, consulted on the proposed changes to the MKSM Sub-Regional Strategy. Over 3,000 copies of this document were distributed with 426 representations received. These were considered before publishing the final MKSM Sub-Regional Strategy in March 2005.

Further details can be found in Milton Keynes and South Midlands Sub-Regional Strategy—Summary of Public Consultation on the Secretary of State's Proposed Changes" (available via www.gose.gov.uk). See also Sustainable Communities: An Urban Development Area for Milton Keynes: Consultation Summary and Decision Document" (available via www.odpm.gov.uk) for further information on the consultation process leading up to the establishment of Milton Keynes Partnerships Committee, the local delivery vehicle for Milton Keynes.
