Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL)

Representation ID: 1732

Received: 30/01/2015

Respondent: Cogent Land LLP (Cogent)

Representation Summary:

The Council should also be aware that the use of Section 106 obligations post-CIL are limited, as explained in the CIL Guidance.
It is therefore unnecessary to repeatedly exclude demand resulting from large sites and site specific mitigations as the Section106 regulations already specify that this must be so. This is important as a single development and Section 106 agreement can have more than one obligation in relation to a type of infrastructure, which further restricts the Councils' ability to pool obligations. We would therefore recommend that the Council ensure that they understand the implications of Section 106 pooling post-CIL and its impact on their intended delivery mechanism for infrastructure, with particular focus on the use of planning obligations to secure contributions towards Education provision.
