EL13 Infrastructure Delivery in Meridian Water
Development within the Meridian Water boundary will be subject to financial contributions towards infrastructure requirements secured on all developments liable for CIL or Section 106 planning obligations. Key principles in determining the nature and level of the corresponding S106 planning obligation are that:
- It relates to infrastructure project provision identified within the Edmonton Leeside AAP (excluding such infrastructure as may be listed periodically in any Regulation 123 List) particularly:
- Affordable housing;
- Flood defences and other blue infrastructure;
- Waterside public realm improvements;
- New and improved public open space and space for local biodiversity and habitats;
- Sport and recreation facilities;
- Enhancing the bus network;
- Education;
- Health;
- Employment measures; and
- Provision and operation of car clubs.
- It must be necessary to make the development acceptable in planning terms, directly related to the development, and fairly and reasonably related in scale and kind to the development; and
- A maximum amount will be secured subject to viability to ensure the level of contribution does not harm the delivery of development in the area.
For each phase/ zone of development in Meridian Water the developer must agree with the Council an outline application which includes the infrastructure needs to support the level of development within the identified phase/ zone and sets out the planning obligations necessary to enable this supporting infrastructure.
No more than five obligations for a specific item of infrastructure will be pooled across the borough, except where pooling restrictions do not apply or if pooling restrictions are lifted, in accordance with the CIL regulations.
This policy should be read in conjunction with Core Strategy policy 46 and Chapter 14 of this AAP
