Merton Council’S Web Site: 14.2 Committee: CABINET th Date: 16 March 2009 Agenda item: 7 Wards: All Wards Subject: S.106 Planning Obligations Report Quarter 3 2008/09 Lead officer: John Hill, Head of Public Protection & Development Lead member: Councillor William Brierly, Planning and Traffic Management Forward Plan reference number: Contact officer: Tim Catley Recommendations: A. THE CONTRIBUTIONS MADE BY S.106 AGREEMENTS OR ANY OTHER ENABLING AGREEMENT BE NOTED. 1 PURPOSE OF REPORT AND EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1.1. This report summarises the situation in relation to S.106 agreements for the 3rd quarter of financial year 2008/09. 1.2. £185,967 has been committed to the council in monetary obligations for Quarter 3. A list of agreements signed can be found in Appendix B. 1.3. £16,950 was received in Quarter 3. A breakdown can be found in item 2.6. 1.4. £80,658 was spent from S.106 funds in Quarter 3. Please refer to Appendix C for breakdown. 1.5. £1,817,339 is unallocated and remains available from S.106 income. Please refer to Appendix D. 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. 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; 69 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 The first of these meetings has taken place. Officers discussed areas for protocol improvements including an interim development control case officer S.106 checklist, the forthcoming members S.106 seminar to be held on the 30th of March and the development of guidance/protocols for councillors wishing to be involved in the S.106 process. 2.5. This programme of meetings will supplement the existing arrangements for bidding and notification which include: • 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 70 • 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 a S.106 contribution 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 for members with any S.106 queries. 2.6.

    More than just a driver 44 ........... Other road users 46 ........... Using the public address (PA) system 49 ...........Pre-recorded announcements 43 More than just a driver More than just a driver Being a professional bus driver requires more than just giving your passengers a safe, smooth ride. This section gives you guidance on other aspects of your job which will help you keep up your status as a professional. More than just a driver Other road users 44 Other road users There are many more cyclists using London’s roads and you should take special care to ensure you are aware of cyclists at all times. Look out for Barclays Cycle Superhighways across the Capital, and Barclays Cycle Hire users in central and eastern areas. 1. Give all cyclists space as you overtake (about half the width of your bus, or 1.2m) and do not cut in on cyclists as you approach bus stops. 45 More than just a driver Other road users 2. Do not stop in the Advanced Stop Box. It must be left clear for cyclists. 3. Remember to watch out for motorcyclists, who can now use certain bus lanes. 4. Watch out for pedestrians and keep your speed low. Use dipped headlights, especially in contra-flow bus lanes and central areas, such as Oxford Street or Piccadilly. Your company may ask you to use dipped headlights at all times. 5. At road junctions, be aware of other large vehicles such as lorries. Like buses, they need a wide area to turn. 6. Remember, taxis can use bus lanes so be prepared to stop if they are picking up or setting down passengers.

  • Morden Park.Pdf
    Morden Park Roman Morden The Roman road between London and Chichester passed through Morden Park. It was known as Stane Street and can be traced from the Lord Nelson at the bottom of Stonecot Hill, through Morden Park to the Civic Centre and beyond. Located about 350m northwest of the course of Stane Street lies what is now known as the Morden Park Mound. This has not been extensively excavated but its size and shape is characteristic of a Roman barrow, or burial site. Morden Park House: Georgian Beginnings Morden Park was formerly a deer park within the Morden Hall estate, originally owned by Westminster Abbey. In 1768, Richard Garth, in partnership with the London merchant and distiller John Ewart, procured a private act of Parliament permitting the creation of the Morden Park estate. The double-fronted brown-brick house was built in 1770 as a retreat for the Ewart family, who remained here until 1788. Morden Park House: Continued Morden Park passed through many different owners. From the late 1780s the estate was in the hands of the Polhill family and between the 1880s and the 1910s, the house was occupied by the banker John Wormald. The entire estate was eventually purchased by Gilliat Hatfeild, owner of Morden Hall Park, thus reuniting the two estates. In 1936, Morden Park was purchased from the Hatfeild family by Merton and Morden Urban District Council. Morden Park House: Registry Office During the its later history Morden Park House suffered years of neglect and from 1985 stood vacant for lengthy periods. The Grade II* listed house was eventually restored , thanks to a £1.8 million Heritage Lottery Fund grant.
