Government legislative changes mean the Community Infrastructure Levy will replace S106 Planning Obligations as the vehicle for funding the infrastructure that supports growth and development. Authorities will collect Community Infrastructure Levy contributions from developers to pay for the infrastructure requirements created by new development, with S106 Planning Obligations restricted in the main to site specific matters. The Council is now in a position to adopt the Brent CIL Charging Schedule.

(ii)        that the S106 Planning Obligations Supplementary Planning Document, as agreed by the Executive on 13 February 2012 be adopted, to come into effect concurrently with the CIL commencement date of 1 July 2013;

(iv)       that CIL can be paid in instalments in line with the policy detailed in the report from the Director of Regeneration and Major Projects.

Government legislative changes meant the Community Infrastructure Levy would replace S106 Planning Obligations as the vehicle for funding the infrastructure that supports growth and development. Authorities would collect Community Infrastructure Levy contributions from developers to pay for the infrastructure requirements created by new development, with S106 Planning Obligations restricted in the main to site specific matters. After two rounds of public consultation and an examination in public, the Council was now in a position to adopt the Brent CIL Charging Schedule. Councillor Crane (Lead Member, Regeneration and Major Projects) reminded the Executive that the Draft Charging Schedule was examined at an Examination In Public in November 2012 before an independent inspector who concluded that, as amended, the Brent Community Infrastructure Levy satisfied requirements and recommended that the Charging Schedule be approved. Councillor Crane recommended that the Schedule go to Full Council for adoption.
