Report of the Director of the Built Environment

The Committee received a report of the Director of the Built Environment concerning the City Corporation’s proposed response to the consultation on the Mayoral Community Infrastructure Levy.

RESOLVED – To agree the key points of the City Corporation’s proposed response set out below and that the detailed comments set out in paragraphs 7 - 18 of this report will be forwarded to the Mayor as the City Corporation’s response to the

Mayor’s consultation on the Mayoral CIL2 Draft Charging Schedule.

The City Corporation:

Has supported the delivery of the Crossrail 2 railway and supports in principle for

the introduction of a new Mayoral CIL charge to contribute towards the cost

of delivering this strategic transport infrastructure.

Has no objection to the proposed Mayoral CIL charge rates applicable

within the City of London, but seeks the Mayor’s commitment that he will

keep these charges under review and work with the City Corporation and

London Boroughs to review the Mayoral CIL if evidence emerges of an

adverse impact on development.

Requests that the Mayor consider in full the impacts on development costs

of the emerging draft London Plan on the viability of the Mayoral CIL before

CIL rates are confirmed.

Requests that the Mayor extend his CIL nil charge rate to cover

development used wholly or mainly for the operational purposes of the

emergency services.

Agree that the detailed comments set out in paragraphs 7 - 18 of this report

will be forwarded to the Mayor as the City Corporation’s response to the

Mayor’s consultation on the Mayoral CIL2 Draft Charging Schedule.
