Inducement is something the developer is obliged to give back to the community either on site or as close as possible to it. There are curently 4 sites ear marked and dicytated by the council one of which is Harold Park some considerable distance away and accross at least 3 major roads. It is not an Inducement to give something to a community that they already have but it looks increasingly as if the council are using the inducemnet to meet their own fiscal revenue and responsibility
Other sites includes the play Area at Fenwick Drive and the School Playing Fields
Read The Inspectors Site Appraisal and look at theConclusion in regard to Open Space and Inducement
Conclusion
" This is not a modest stand alone greenfield developement but a largedevlopement on the urban fringe with numerous inherent constraints which is also a large part of the Royds Community Development Regeneration Project. Hence it involves a complex matrix of interactive considerations. In my opinion the comples design framework necessary to ensure satisfactory developemnt cannot be defined ny planning conditions on an outline consent. Nor do I believe that all the objectives of the scheme could be adequately controlled by conditions . For these reasons I consider a planning brief and section 106 agreements concerning affordable housing and the provision and maintainance of recreation and open space to be prerequisites of granting outline planning permission "
