The recommendation include a 106 agreement to benefit the local community:
15.2 The following financial contributions could be secured by way of a Section 106 Agreement to mitigate against the impacts of the development:
• Parks, open spaces and/or play space contributions: £13,878.80
• Revenue contributions: £1,387.88
• S106 monitoring fee: £763.33
15.3 In all the development could secure a total of £16,030.01 in contributions and the applicant has informally agreed to this figure.
15.4 The development would also be secured as ‘permit free’ by an appropriately worded clause in the s106 agreement, so that residents would not be eligible to apply for residents’ car parking permits, which are in operation on surrounding streets.
15.5 It is also advised that the scheme would be liable to the Mayoral Community Infrastructure Levy and that this is in addition to the s106 package set out above.
It will be interesting to see how much of this revenue ends up benefiting local residents? To read the full report click here >>
