Didcot Town Council

Agenda item 10 SODC S106 and CIL Regulation 123 List consultation

Background

4. Didcot Town Council’s Planning Committee originally considered a report on this

consultation on 6th September 2017. Its decision was to defer consideration to

27th September 2017.1

5. The draft document can be found online at:

http://www.southoxon.gov.uk/services-and-advice/planning-and-

building/planning-policy/delivering-infrastructure/section-106

6. Proposed changes are highlighted in red text

7. A hard copy is available by request.

8. Planning authorities have powers under section 106 to require delivery of certain

infrastructure as an obligation of planning permission to mitigate the impact of the

development. A developer may deliver such infrastructure in kind, or they may do

so through financial payments.

9. The Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) is a charge that can be levied on

qualifying developments to support local infrastructure. Unlike section 106,

money received from CIL charges need not be spent on the development from

which it was levied and may instead be spent across the district.

10. Developers cannot be charged for the same infrastructure for the same

development under section 106 and CIL; it must be one or the other. The section

106 Planning Obligations Supplementary Planning Document and the CIL

Regulation 123 list are South Oxfordshire District Council’s explanations of their

approach to how they will employ the different options available.

11. South Oxfordshire District Council expect to review the section 106 Planning

Obligations Supplementary Planning Document and the CIL Regulation 123 list in

line with the outcome of the Local Plan and revised Infrastructure Delivery Plan.

A new CIL charging schedule is expected to be adopted after autumn 2018. The

documents under discussion have been written as interim documents to support

infrastructure delivery during the transitional period.

12. The consultation is open until 11th October 2017.

Legal Implications

13. None.
