• Photovoltaic (PV) modules for electricity generation 11.6 The energy statement concludes the regulated carbon dioxide emissions reduction would be 28% on average lower than the Part L compliant development. This is supported by officers. The proposed reduction in carbon emissions have been secured within the Section 106 Agreement. Furthermore, the details of the renewable technologies have been secured via a condition. 12 Refuse and Recycling 12.1 Policy S8 of the Core Strategy states the Council will contribute to the sustainable management of waste in Lambeth. 12.2 The applicant has submitted a waste strategy produced by GL Hearn. The development proposes seven buildings with different planned uses. The most commonly used waste containers for the storage of general waste would be 1100litre Eurobins. These would be stored on site in the basement or service areas between scheduled collections. Typical Eurobin dimensions are 1360mm wide x 1050mm deep and 1350mm high, requiring a minimum floor area of 1.4sqm. 12.3 The development would be installed with compactors, which would be installed to a number of buildings. The total number of bins being proposed in the strategy for waste when non-compacted is 467, when compacted this equates to 94, this is a significant reduction. This is supported by officers. Conditions have been imposed requesting further details in relation to the waste strategy being proposed as part of the application. 13 S106, CIL, Impact Upon Local Infrastructure, and Benefits for the Wider Community 13.1 The Community Infrastructure Levy Regulations 2010 explicitly set out that planning permission should only be granted subject to completion of a planning obligation where the obligation meets all of the following tests. A planning obligation should be: (i) necessary to make the development acceptable in planning terms; (ii) directly related to the development; and (iii) fairly and reasonably related in scale and kind to the development. 13.2 Policy S10 of the Core Strategy sets out the circumstances in which planning obligations will be expected from developers. In particular it sets out that planning obligations will be sought to mitigate the direct impact of development, secure its implementation, control phasing where necessary, and to secure and contribute to the delivery of infrastructure made necessary by the development - subject to the particular circumstances of the development in question and the nature and extent of impact and needs created. 13.3 With specific regard to Vauxhall, Policy PN2 of the Core Strategy sets out that the council will ensure that development is linked with the wider area and that it secures benefits for the wider community through contributions to necessary social and physical infrastructure needs arising from development in particular for public transport, education and other community facilities and securing
employment and training opportunities to address issues of worklessness in the borough and the setting up of a local project bank in order to mitigate the impacts of development. 13.4 The Council’s adopted SPD on planning obligations sets out the general circumstances across the borough where monies towards community infrastructure would be expected and a framework for calculating amounts that would likely be sought. 13.5 More recently, the GLA published the VNEB Development Infrastructure Funding Study (DIFS) (October 2010) which investigates the infrastructure required to support the delivery of the expected development within the OAPF. The DIFS proposes a tariff based system for the collection and pooling of monies towards the various infrastructure requirements. 13.6 At Cabinet in January 2012, the Council resolved to adopt the DIFS tariff for the purposes of negotiating Section 106 contributions within the Vauxhall area of the VNEB OA. This decision has been subsequently included in the draft Vauxhall Supplementary Planning Document. The approach adopted translates the various identified costs of infrastructure (Northern Line Extension; other transport; education; health; open space; community and other facilities) into a planning tariff charge expressed in the form of contributions per square metre and per residential unit (£ per sq. metre) to be applied to residential; office; mixed use retail; retail and hotel and other floor space. Two sets of residential tariffs were proposed relating to higher values along the riverside (Zone A) and lower values inland (Zone B). The level of the tariff is based on modelling the overall envelop of financial viability for the various new land uses predicted in the VNEB OA, with for the case of residential provision a variation, of what is viable in relation to the level of affordable housing. For Zone B, which is applicable to the Vauxhall Square scheme, this was modelled at £15,000 for 40% affordable provisions, and £20,000 for 15% affordable provision. 13.7 The application of the DIFS for the purposes of securing planning obligations towards the delivery of necessary infrastructure was formally ratified by the Mayor on the adoption of the VNEB OAPF in March 2012. 13.8 Using the DIFS tariff adopted by the council, the development would be expected to provide a significant contribution of which the VNEB Strategy Board would then allocate to identified projects in the VNEB area. This is based on the net floorspace increase for B1 office, retail, student accommodation, and hotel provision within the scheme, and a charge on residential units based on the application of a sliding scale of a tariff charge, based on the provision of affordable housing at approximately 21.2% requiring a £19,000 contribution per residential unit. 13.9 On 1 st April 2012, the Mayor’s Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) came into effect across London to secure funding for Crossrail. The application development would be subject to a CIL charge, based on £35 per sq m on all new net floorspace based on Gross Internal Area. This floorspace figure applies to the retail, B1 office, residential, basement, and plant areas. At the time of writing further information and clarification is awaited from CLS
