Camberwell Youth and Young Carers Conference

A DVD of the Camberwell Young Carers Conference was played to the meeting. The chair advised that council funding of that would be continued.

 

Consultation on the revised draft community infrastructure levy (CIL) charging schedule

Tim Cutts, Team Leader Planning Policy, explained that the council was consulting on the CIL proposed charges. The CIL was a levy charged as pounds per square metre on new developments. Consultation on the charging schedule would end on 25 February 2014. The money generated from the CIL would support growth in jobs and homes for the next 10 years.

 

Consultation on the draft Section 106 planning obligations

Tim Cutts, Team Leader Planning Policy, explained that the CIL levy, once adopted, would change the way Section 106 planning obligations worked. Consultation was taking place on a new planning document that would provide guidance on Section 106 planning obligations. The consultation would run until 25 February 2014.

 

In response to questions, Tim Cutts explained that CIL allowed more flexibility than Section 106 for investment across the borough, rather than in specific wards. The CIL project list would be agreed at community council meetings.

 

The chair asked officers to publicise the CIL project list beyond community council meetings so that more residents were involved in the process.
