However, the London Plan (2011) establishes a minimum 10 year target of 10,650 and a revised annual monitoring target of 1,065. Over the 14 years from 2012/13 to 2025/26, this equates to 14,910 new homes and 36,082 additional people. If they are to enjoy a good quality of life without placing an over-demand on existing services, and compromising the quality of life of existing residents, then they must be provided with adequate community facilities. The purpose of this plan is to establish the community infrastructure requirements to support the growth planned in Barking and Dagenham. These fall into the following categories: • Education • Transport • Health • Public Realm • Open Space (publicly accessible open space and allotments) • Leisure (indoor, outdoor and play) • Children’s Centres • Libraries • Flood Defences • Local Labour • Emergency Services It identifies what facilities exist now and whether these meet current demand. It also identifies what facilities will be required to meet the needs of the additional population and estimates the capital costs of providing these. Finally, the plan identifies the plan looks at funding sources to meet infrastructure costs and identifies any shortfall from this assessment. This plan provides the justification for the Council applying a standard developer charge known as the Community Infrastructure levy. Currently, developer contributions are known as ‘planning obligations’ and are secured through Section 106 agreements. However, new legislation, the Community Infrastructure Regulations 2010, came into force on 6th April 2010 (now amended by the Community Infrastructure Levy (Amendment) Regulations 2011). The Community Infrastructure Levy is a new levy that local authorities can choose to charge on new developments in their area. The money can be used to support development by funding infrastructure that the council, local community and neighbourhoods want. S106 agreements have been retained but will be scaled back to focus on direct site specific mitigation and affordable housing. The regulations allow for a transition period until 2014, within which s106 agreements can be retained to deliver wider 6 planning benefit, pending the adoption of a Community Infrastructure Levy but after then S106 agreements will be scaled back significantly so they only focus on site specific mitigation. Therefore if the Council does not have a Community Infrastructure Levy Charging Schedule in place by 2014 it will not be able to secure developer contributions towards wider infrastructure needs. The table below summarises the costs and identified shortfalls of meeting future community facility need generated by 36,082 new residents.
