To MKSM EQOL Sub Group and MKSM Inter regional Board:

1. That the Plan be endorsed by the MKSM Environment and Quality of Life Sub Group and by the Inter-regional Board with a view to it being recommended for adoption by the various Local Delivery Vehicles, Local Strategic Partnerships and Voluntary and Community Sector across the sub region.

To the Voluntary and Community Sector in the sub region:

2. That the Social Infrastructure Group, with assistance from the public sector, seek funding to establish a ‘MKSM Social Infrastructure Fund’ to meet the range of sub regional needs highlighted in the Plan (Social Infrastructure Managers and Partnership costs; training and networking for social infrastructure staff; action research, monitoring and evaluation; specialist advice; front end funding of community development work).

3. That the VCS in each LDV area discuss and agree the formation of Social Infrastructure Partnerships with appropriate coordination responsibilities undertaken by a local VCS infrastructure body.

4. That these Partnerships should be recognised as the focus for VCS involvement in planning for the MKSM area and its constituent growth areas.

To Local Strategic Partnerships:

5. That Local Strategic Partnerships in the MKSM sub region be asked to endorse this Plan; agree in principle to participate in the planning, resourcing and delivery model as set out in the Plan; and to seek the necessary resources to fund the initial contribution towards social infrastructure from the public sector or other sources of £175 per dwelling.

To Local Delivery Vehicles/Local Planning Authorities:

6. That consideration is given in those areas outside Milton Keynes to establishing a ‘tariff’ model for the calculation, collection and management of ‘Developer Contributions’ under ‘Planning Obligations’ law and guidance.

7. Within Milton Keynes the two Planning Authorities (Milton Keynes Council and Milton Keynes Partnership) should seek to bring their ‘tariffs’ into line; use the figures proposed for contributions per dwelling for social infrastructure and adopt the scope of services and other investment for social infrastructure as set out in the Plan.

8. That the sum of £525 per dwelling should be the initial sum required of developers, the understanding that this is added to by a sum of £175 per dwelling by public agencies or similar sources towards Social Infrastructure Costs. This should be included in an appropriate Supplementary Planning Document as the initial basis for negotiations over particular developments, and kept under review and amended on the basis of experience on the ground and other relevant information.

9. That developers be required, through appropriate Supplementary Planning Documents, to provide or fund initial community bases and Social Infrastructure Reserve Sites in accordance with the standards set out in the Plan.

10. That LDV’s/LPA’s agree and participate in the system for planning, resourcing and delivering social infrastructure as set out in the Plan.
