39 Assumptions for Pupil Yield Arising from Housing Development and Section 106 Contributions pdf icon PDF 53 KB

 

To provide an update on the assumptions around pupil yield arising from housing development and impact on S106 contribution calculation methodology.

Additional documents:

Decision:

That an increase to the pupil yield assumptions used for pupil forecasting and the calculation of S106 funding requests for education, from 1 form of entry per 750 homes to 1 form of entry per 500 homes, for residential planning applications, be approved with effect from 2 August 2017.

Minutes:

 

The Executive considered a report from the Executive Member for Education and Skills that sought approval to increase the pupil yield factor used to determine the number of new school places required as a result of new housing development.

 

Reason for decision:  An increase in the pupil yield would place a fairer and more accurate share of the costs of new school places on development and would make new development sustainable by ensuring adequate school places were made available in areas of growth.

 

RESOLVED

 

that an increase to the pupil yield assumptions used for pupil forecasting and the calculation of S106 funding requests for education, from 1 form of entry per 750 homes to 1 form of entry per 500 homes, for residential planning applications, be approved with effect from 2 August 2017.

 

The decision was unanimous.
