Merton Council Committee: CABINET Date: 21st September 2009 Agenda item: 6 Wards: All Wards Subject: S.106 Planning Obligations Report Quarter 1 2009/10 Lead officer: John Hill, Head of Public Protection & Development Lead member: Councillor William Brierly, Planning and Traffic Management Forward Plan reference number: 825 Contact officer: Tim Catley (S.106 General Enquiries); Ashley Heller (Enquires in relation to the Wimbledon Station Access Scheme) Recommendations: A. THE CONTRIBUTIONS MADE BY S.106 AGREEMENTS OR ANY OTHER ENABLING AGREEMENT BE NOTED. B. THAT S.106 FUNDING TOTALING £248,310 BE ALLOCATED TO THE WIMBLEDON STATION ACCESS SCHEME 1 PURPOSE OF REPORT AND EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1.1. This report summarises the situation in relation to S.106 agreements for the 1st quarter 2009/10. 1.2. £511,107 has been committed to the council in monetary obligations for Quarter 1. A list of agreements signed during Quarter 1 can be found at Appendix B. 1.3. £65,722 was received in Quarter 1. A breakdown can be found at item 2.6. 1.4. £45,299 was spent from S.106 funds in Quarter 1. Please refer to Appendix C for breakdown. 1.5. £1,595,735 is unallocated and remains available from S.106 income. Please refer to Appendix D. 1.6. To approve the proposed use of S.106 funds towards the Wimbledon Station Access Scheme. 2 DETAILS 2.1. S.106 of the Town & Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended) permits Local Planning Authorities to enter into agreements with applicants for planning permission to regulate the use and development of land. This may involve the payment of a financial contribution for off site works. 27 2.2. Government guidance on the use of planning obligations is set out in ODPM Circular 05/2005 issued on 18th July 2005. The guidance requires that a planning obligation must be: i) Relevant to planning; ii) Necessary to make the proposed development acceptable in planning terms; iii) Directly related to the proposed development; iv) Fairly and reasonably related in scale and kind to the proposed development; v) Reasonable in all other respects. 2.3. Members requested an annual report detailing agreements signed, income received and expenditure funded by S.106 Agreements. At the Planning Applications Committee meeting of 18th August 2005, Members requested that this report be produced on a quarterly basis in future. The report is to be submitted to Cabinet. 2.4. In order to ensure that the Council remains competitive in securing benefits through the S.106 process, a revised format of the bi-monthly income/expenditure meetings has now been formalised so that meetings now involve all corporate officers involved in the S.106 process. The aim of the meeting is to be a forum through which departments can be aware of key issues at an early stage so that the benefits of S106 can be maximised. Agendas are flexible so that attendees feel they have an opportunity to express issues, however they roughly cover the following areas with respect to S.106: • processes (including protocol preparations) • considerations for policy development • update on any developments in the field of S106 such as relevant Government/Mayoral proposals, policies and legislation • performance and reports • lessons learned • application & implementation issues – it is intended that detailed issues on specific cases can be discussed separately to help to retain a strategic focus in the meetings • identifying opportunities to channel S.106 funding towards the council’s Capital programme both in terms of the negotiations with developers for prospective S.106 contributions and for the allocation of S.106 monies already received 2.5. This programme of meetings supplements the existing arrangements for bidding and notification which include: 28 • notification of officers, relevant ward councillors and the Cabinet member for Planning and Traffic Management with respect to newly signed S.106 agreements and the obligations contained therein • notification of officers and members as above with respect to newly received financial contributions paid in accordance with S.106 agreements • bids are to be prepared by officers responsible for implementing projects for which S.106 monies are sought and are to be authorised by their relevant head of service. • all bids are to be authorised by the Head of Public Protection and Development • all bids for S.106 monies of £30,000 and above are to be authorised by the Director of Environment and Regeneration • such bids upwards of £50,000 require the authorisation of Cabinet • bids are to be within the bounds of the signed S.106 Agreement which vary from case to case. Consequently the level of detail required in support of a bid and subsequent level of scrutiny of a bid may vary in relation to the level of detail specified within the S.106 Agreement and the complexity of the measures towards which the funds would be applied. • any queries with respect to S.106 contributions that have been received, (for example should a councillor wish to enquire whether a S.106 contribution could be applied to a specific project) will usually be directed to the service that would be responsible for bidding and spending the contribution. Such queries would generally be directed to officers that are involved in seeking funding for projects to be carried out within those sections. • Environment and Regeneration is currently developing a “Project Bank”, a centralised database of potential projects. It is hoped that the Project Bank will be an effective way of identifying priorities for funding such as S.106 across the department and be used as a point of reference should members have any S.106 queries. 2.6.

It is imperative to commence SEA at the early stages of plan making to identify the key sustainability issues likely affected by the implementation of the plan; it assists with creating development options and assesses any significant effects of the proposed development. SA/SEA’s are an important tool for developing sound planning policies and planning development plans which are consistent with the Government’s sustainable development agenda and achieving the aspirations of local communities.

The proposal Outline planning permission (with all matters reserved) for the residential-led mixed use redevelopment of the site to construct up to 600 residential units and 500 sq.m. of flexible commercial/community floorspace in Class A1-A3, D1 and D2 use). The applicant The applicant is SUEZ Recycling and Recovery UK Ltd and the architect is PRP Architects Strategic issues Land use principle: Compensatory re-provision of waste management capacity would be provided; however, further discussion and the written agreement of the South London Waste Plan boroughs is required to confirm that the loss of Benedict Wharf would not compromise the potential to meet the apportionment and self- sufficiency targets in the draft London Plan. Residential-led development of this designated SIL site does not accord with the London Plan or draft London Plan. Further viability and marketing evidence is required to demonstrate the applicant’s case for exceptional circumstances in this particular instance (paragraphs 17 to 44). Housing and affordable housing: 20% affordable housing offer, comprising a 60:40 tenure split between London Affordable Rent and London Shared Ownership is wholly unacceptable. This must be significantly improved by fully exploring the potential for grant funding and greater optimisation of the proposed residential density.

  • Route Option 2 – Colliers Wood to Sutton Town Centre a Street-Based Route from Colliers Wood to Sutton Town Centre Via Rosehill
    What is the Sutton Link project? Figure 1: Route Option 2 – Colliers Wood to Sutton We are consulting on proposals for a new, direct and town centre quicker transport link between Sutton and Merton. We have called this the Sutton Link. The Sutton Link would create a high-capacity route for people travelling between Sutton town centre and Merton using zero-emission vehicles. It would connect with other major transport services into central London and across south London, including National Rail, London Underground, existing tram and bus services. It would make journeys by public transport quicker and more attractive, and reduce the need for trips by private car. Many of the neighbourhoods along the proposed routes have limited public transport options. The Sutton Link would support new homes being built and would improve access to jobs, services, major transport hubs and leisure opportunities across both boroughs and beyond. We are considering a tram or ‘bus rapid transit’ (BRT) for the Sutton Link. Route Option 2 – Colliers Wood to Sutton town centre A street-based route from Colliers Wood to Sutton town centre via Rosehill. It would, interchange with the existing London Trams network at Belgrave Walk tram stop and the Northern line at Colliers Wood. A tram or BRT service would be suitable for this route. Main works required for Route Option 2 The route mostly operates along existing streets and • Approximately 9km of tram or BRT corridor the majority of works would therefore take place between Colliers Wood and Sutton, including a within
