38: Infrastructure Delivery

The council will seek planning contributions to ensure the necessary infrastructure to support the Local Plan is delivered using two main methods:

Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL)

The council will charge CIL on developments in accordance with the CIL Regulations (2010, as amended). The council will spend CIL receipts on:

  • ‘strategic’ infrastructure in accordance with the Sutton CIL Regulation 123 List.
  • projects identified for ‘local CIL’.
  • CIL administration expenses.

Section 106 Agreements (‘S106s’/’planning obligations’)

The council will seek planning obligations to ensure that all new development meets on and off-site requirements that are made necessary by, and are related to, any proposed development, subject to the three tests set out in Regulation 122 of the CIL Regulations (2010, as amended), and associated guidance set out in the council’s Revised Planning Obligations Supplementary Planning Document (April 2014).

Infrastructure

The council will work with relevant providers to ensure that the necessary infrastructure is secured to support growth in the Borough over the Plan period (2016-2031). Details of key infrastructure requirements over the Plan period are set out in Table 2.
