[QUOTE="Coximus, post: 8154590, member: 12800"] Both, dealing with a developer directly (parent of the development shell, as theyre looking for a site that could cover developments going 10years into the future). interesting point you make about the council persuing the landowner if the deal isnt met - Legals Ive received basically state unless the council is party to the agreement the contract becomes null and unenforceable as a lease or normal commercial contract on non payment - If the annual payment is not made, then the contract is breached - serve notice as normal and if not remedied then it can be deemed void as all normal contracts - Council would only be able to persue the land owner if the land owner had an agreement with the council directly and agreed to the contract. In effect the landowner is Selling the "offset" to the developer to allow them to "offset" the development. If the developer does not pay for the offset, then the landowner does not have to provide it to them, (think like the BPS entitlements) . Their is no legal mechanism in planning law or contract law for the council to force the 3rd party landowner to treat. I think this above sums up why the developers do not want to own the land at all - if they need to, or if something happens and they cant pay, the council cant do a thing [/QUOTE]
