Development Management Policies - Direction of ... - Islington Council

9 Infrastructure and Implementation
(i) Planning obligations will be used by the council to deliver sustainable development. This
will include compensation for loss or damage associated with a development, mitigation of
the impacts of a development, prescription of the nature of a development, and other measures
to make a development acceptable in planning terms, where possible and appropriate.
(ii) Planning obligations will be used by the council to deliver infrastructure provision required
in full or in part in association with development proposals, to control the mix of uses within a
development, including affordable housing, and to manage the impact and operation of
developments.
B. Planning obligations will be secured by a legal agreement or other relevant mechanism,
and will provide for payments of money where necessary and appropriate. Planning obligations
will be based upon the provisions of the council's Planning Obligations (S106) SPD (2009) or
any subsequent amendment, addition or replacement to this SPD.
9.0.4 Managing the impact and operation of developments may involve management plans,
restrictions of uses and hours of operation, Travel Plans, construction management plans,
and monitoring of such plans.
9.0.5 Compensating for the impact of a development may include provision for highways
reinstatement and other damage reinstatement and reprovision of assets lost through the
development.
9.0.6 Planning obligations may be used to achieve compliance with relevant planning policies,
for example the Core Strategy car-free policy and policies on employment and training
initiatives and affordable workspace.
9.0.7 The use of planning obligations will be consistent with the tests of the Community
Infrastructure Regulation 2010.
9.0.8 Any financial payments may be based on formulae and standard charges, and will be
index-linked. Reasonable legal fees shall be payable.
9.0.9 Planning obligations may be used for strategic infrastructure provision, using pooled
contributions under Section 106 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, or through
another relevant mechanism, such as the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL).
9.0.10 Should the Council adopt a Community Infrastructure Levy, this will become the main
source of developer contributions for infrastructure to support the development of the
area. S106 agreements will be used to secure planning obligations to address other issues
that are not covered by CIL.
