It was noted that the proposed development was liable for the Mayor’s Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) in accordance with London Plan Policy 8.3. The applicable fee was based on 874 square metres of new gross internal floor space. The proposal would therefore give rise to the requirement of a £5,440 Mayoral CIL payment (subject to indexation). 

The Committee considered the report and without debate RESOLVED that the proposal was unacceptable as it stood but would be acceptable subject to the applicant entering into a Legal Agreement under Section 106 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended), to secure the following obligations by 20 April 2018 and in the event that the Section 106 agreement was not completed by such date then the application should be refused

•         A financial contribution of £24,000 to be used for educational purposes.

•         All contribution sums should include interest to the due date of expenditure and all contribution sums to be subject to indexation from the date of completion of the Section 106 agreement to the date of receipt by the Council.

•         The Developer/Owner to pay the Council’s reasonable legal costs associated with the Legal Agreement prior to the completion of the agreement irrespective of whether the agreement was completed.

•         Payment of the appropriate planning obligations monitoring fee prior to the completion of the agreement.

That the Assistant Director of Development be authorised to enter into a legal agreement to secure the above and upon completion of that agreement, grant planning permission subject to the conditions as set out in the report.
