"Redbridge is one of only three English councils - and the first in London - now charging Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL).

"Murray says councillors saw the tariff as a way to end the 'negotiations, delays and frustrations' caused by the Section 106 regime, which will only be used to extract developer contributions for affordable homes, and site-specific mitigation measures, once councils adopt CIL. There was also growing concern that population growth was outstripping infrastructure provision, he says.  [Never a problem in Barnet, that?]

 

"Redbridge's CIL requires developers to pay a flat rate of £70 per square metre of new or additional internal floor space, in all locations across the borough. The borough was able to begin charging CIL this year, after councillors endorsed the report of an independent examiner, who judged last September that the proposals were sound."
