10.1 Recent new national legislation and Government guidance on preparing LDFs places an increasing emphasis on implementation, delivery and infrastructure planning. The 2008 Planning Act provides the legal framework for the assessment of major infrastructure proposals and the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL). PPS12 (2008) emphasises the importance of deliverability in assessing a sound Core Strategy, including the preparation of an infrastructure plan. This chapter therefore sets out how Enfield’s vision and spatial strategy will be delivered, by whom and when. It provides the framework for the detailed Infrastructure Delivery Plan being produced alongside the Core Strategy.
10.2 The Council’s new Place Shaping and Enterprise Department will lead on the development and delivery of the Core Strategy. The department covers the following Council service areas: planning policy, conservation and design, place shaping delivery co-ordination, property services, economic development, strategic housing, community and voluntary sectors, parks and open spaces. The new Place Shaping Council Committee, with strong Cabinet level membership and cross-party representation, will take the key decisions in order to oversee the development and delivery of the Core Strategy. The department will be the main vehicle by which the Council will manage its relationship with external stakeholders, build the confidence of current and potential investors and influence and inform at sub-regional and regional level.
10.3 PPS12 (2008) places more emphasis on the need for coordinated infrastructure planning to support proposed growth in the Core Strategy and its policies. The Government is in the process of setting up an Infrastructure Planning Commission, provisions for which were set out in the 2008 Planning Act. Infrastructure includes physical, social and green infrastructure.
10.4 Alongside the Core Strategy, the Council is preparing an Infrastructure Delivery Plan, which sets out the infrastructure required to support future housing provision and predicted population growth within the Borough. It will identify the nature of future provision required, where and when it will be provided, how it will be funded and who will be responsible for delivery. It will also identify any gaps in funding. The Infrastructure Delivery Plan will also include an Infrastructure Schedule, this will be continuously updated as required. This process of updating the schedule will help the Council to detect any risks that some of the required infrastructure will not be forthcoming and put in place contingency measures.
10.5 The Council has prepared the Infrastructure Delivery Plan in close consultation with internal and external delivery agencies (detailed in the Infrastructure Delivery Plan and Consultation Statement) and with regard to their investment and operational plans. As such, most of the infrastructure has a realistic prospect of being provided to support the growth proposed in the Core Strategy. It is expected that additional infrastructure to support proposed new development will be funded through planning obligations negotiated on key developments, when development activity picks up. Where infrastructure is not yet committed or is a necessary precondition for the growth proposed, contingency measures are identified.
10.6 Table 10.1 below presents a summary of the key infrastructure required to be delivered in order to ensure that the planned growth in the Core Strategy can be supported. It does not include all the infrastructure requirements that are in the Infrastructure Delivery Plan, rather it focuses on the most significant key pieces of infrastructure that are required to support planned new development and any contingency plans for schemes that are not yet committed. The key infrastructure, as published in the Core Strategy, has been developed in close consultation with all infrastructure providers and is accurate to the best of the Council’s knowledge at the time of printing this document.

Infrastructure contributions
10.7 The combined impact of the number of developments coming forward in the strategic growth areas is extensive and generates a significant need for infrastructure, as illustrated in Table 10.1 and further elaborated on in the Infrastructure Delivery Plan. The majority of these costs will be met by the public sector, service providers and utility companies. However, the scale of development coming forward and the uplift in values generated through the granting of planning permission for mixed use or residential development in the growth areas, requires that developers make a contribution towards the costs of infrastructure provision.
10.8 In order to address this, the 2008 Planning Act introduced provision for the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL), whose purpose is to ensure that the costs incurred in providing infrastructure to support the development of an area can be funded (wholly or partly) by owners or developers of land. Under the provisions of the Act, local authorities in England and Wales are empowered, but not required, to charge on development in their area, based on simple formulae. The proceeds of the levy can be spent on local and sub-regional infrastructure to support the development of the area. The levy provides the opportunity for a much wider range of types and sizes of development to contribute to infrastructure, thus spreading the load beyond the relatively few applications subject to the current system of planning obligations.
10.9 Detailed proposals on the implementation of CIL and draft regulations to support the Act were published for consultation in July 2009. At present, it is proposed that CIL will operate alongside the current system of planning obligations secured through Section 106 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended). However, this is still to be agreed. The Government intends to bring the agreed Regulations into force on 6 April 2010.
10.10 Enfield Council needs to decide how CIL will operate and deliver the infrastructure set out in the Infrastructure Delivery Plan, liaise with other boroughs in the sub-region and devise a charging schedule. It is unlikely that this will be in place before this Core Strategy is adopted. In the meantime, the Council will continue to operate its current system of planning obligations, secured through Section 106 agreements. In addition, the Council intends to introduce a tariff based system for contributions towards strategic infrastructure, which will be secured through the Section 106 agreement and implemented through the area action plans. This approach of pooling contributions to address major investment needs through the use of published formulae and standard charges is supported by the Government's Circular (05/2005) on Planning Obligations. The tariff will determine the appropriate financial contribution to be made by the developer and help to create more certainty for both developers and the Council. Affordable housing and other site specific obligations required to make the proposed development acceptable or directly mitigate a development's impact will also be secured through the Section 106 agreement.
CORE POLICY 46 INFRASTRUCTURE CONTRIBUTIONS Where Enfield Council grants planning permission for a development, the development will normally be required to make financial and in kind contributions towards infrastructure and community facilities. In the medium to long-term, the Council intends to introduce a Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL), which will set out a clear charging schedule for developers' contributions towards local and strategic infrastructure. The Council will progress work on the Infrastructure Delivery Plan and charging schedule, in order to identify the infrastructure to be funded by the levy and contributions from developers. The charging schedule will be subject to consultation and Examination before being adopted by the Council. In the meantime, the Council will adhere to the guidance set out in Circular 05/05, “Planning Obligations” (Office of the Deputy Prime Minister, July 2005) when negotiating planning obligations, including the policy tests that an obligation must be relevant to planning, necessary to make the proposed development acceptable in planning terms, directly related to the proposed development, fairly and reasonably related in kind to the proposed development, and reasonable in all other aspects. In the strategic growth areas, a more proactive and comprehensive approach will be taken through the area action plans, seeking to ensure that required infrastructure and community facilities are provided for in parallel with the development of new homes and jobs and linking planning obligations to specific local priorities in accordance with priorities set out in the Core Policies for Places section. For each strategic growth area, the Infrastructure Delivery Plan will identify the infrastructure required to accompany planned growth and the funding gaps which pooled planning obligations could contribute towards. If the CIL charging schedule has not been adopted, the area action plans and/or supporting masterplans will identify a proposed tariff for the area, based on a standard charge per residential dwelling, which will determine the appropriate financial contributions towards infrastructure to be secured from developers. The tariff will be secured through a Section 106 agreement. In line with London Plan Policy 6A.4, Priorities in Planning Obligations, the Council has developed a list of provisions to be considered in obligations, with the highest priority given to affordable housing and public transport improvements, as follows: Highest priority:
Other priorities:
Other provisions:
The area action plans will provide much more detailed guidance on priorities for each area. Where necessary, other provisions not specifically noted above may be sought. The appropriate and relevant provisions to be considered in individual negotiations will be evaluated and determined on a site by site basis, taking into account Enfield’s LDF objectives and policies, and the policies and broad planning obligation priorities of the London Plan. In negotiating contributions, individual site circumstances will be taken into account and particularly on those sites which give rise to abnormal costs it may be necessary to prioritise the provisions sought. Specifically, the GLA’s affordable housing toolkit will be used to calculate the viability of providing obligations in addition to affordable housing. The affordable housing targets identified in the Core Strategy should be adhered to unless the toolkit shows that the target is not viable for a particular site. If applicants claim that the scheme cannot fund the requested obligations on the grounds of commercial viability, the Council will expect an open book approach to be taken in examining the development finances of the proposals being considered. Prospective developers will meet the Council’s costs in drafting the planning obligations relevant to their proposals, together with a financial contribution to the Council’s subsequent administration and monitoring costs. |
10.11 The Council and its partners will need to secure the financial and other resources needed to deliver the LDF policies and proposals. The Core Strategy’s function is to provide a clear and positive framework for development so that detailed investment, planning and action can be coordinated and focused on effective implementation. Adopting a clear coherent spatial strategy for Enfield, and keeping it up to date, will be highly important in bidding for the necessary funding and support. The main processes and mechanisms available to implement the LDF policies and proposals are set out below.
Partnership working
10.12 Spatial planning expands the traditional scope of land use planning to address a wider range of social and physical infrastructure issues such as health, education, employment, community cohesion, transport and utilities provision. The Council cannot therefore deliver the Core Strategy’s vision, with its major resource implications, by itself – the vision can only be realised through concerted action by a wide range of public, private and voluntary agencies working together. The Council is therefore working in partnership with a wide variety of organisations and agencies in order to deliver the Plan, including:
Homes and Communities Agency
10.13 In addition to the above, the Homes and Communities Agency's (HCA) potential funding stream is available in the Borough as part of the Borough Implementation Plan (BIP). As part of the Single Conversation the HCA requires all local authorities to prepare a Borough Implementation Plan (BIP) by the end of 2009. The aim of the BIP is to inform the HCA of the Council's long term resource requirements to deliver its Place Shaping vision and Housing Strategy objectives. The Council is currently preparing a BIP which will draw out and pull together the key strands from the Place Shaping Strategy, Housing Strategy and Sustainable Community Strategy individually and set out the level of investment required to deliver the Council's housing and regeneration aims. To inform the Single Conversation and provide a comprehensive argument as to why investors should invest in Enfield, the HCA will use the BIP as a starting point for the allocation of resources over the next 15 years.
10.14 The BIP will set out Enfield's strategic position and to provide a delivery plan to influence future investments from the HCA. This should include resources from the National Affordable Housing Programme, Decent Homes money, Growth Area funds, and Supporting People funds. The BIP will include the Borough's investment requirements for the next five years and will detail regeneration priorities for the next 15 years focusing on town centre renewal, housing and regeneration targets, land supply and physical and social infrastructure requirements. In turn, the BIP will lead to community benefits since it will assist the delivery of the Council's priorities and strategies.
Bespoke delivery vehicles
10.15 In addition to the partnership working required to ensure the effective delivery of larger infrastructure, the Council will be setting up different bespoke delivery vehicles for implementation in the place shaping priority areas. Potential delivery vehicles being considered include joint venture companies, development trusts and development partnerships. In Ponders End, the Council is already working with the Ponders End Community Development Trust to ensure that the needs and aspirations of the local community are reflected in the North East Enfield Area Action Plan and the Framework for Change for Ponders End. Elsewhere formal arrangements are underway for the establishment of a single delivery vehicle for the Edmonton and Central Leeside areas as set out in Core Policy 39. The area action plans will provide more detail on delivery in each place shaping priority area.
Council’s powers and resources
10.16 Other Council strategies and plans play a role in the delivery of the LDF and have influenced the development of the Core Strategy. Appendix 4 identifies other Council strategies and plans which have spatial implications for the Borough.
10.17 The Council has a diverse portfolio of landholdings in the Borough, including some housing estates, industrial estates and community buildings. As such, it has a direct impact on the implementation of the Core Strategy, where there are redevelopment opportunities. However, in many cases, the leaseholder arrangements on some of the Council’s landholdings, for example on some industrial estates, is complex and therefore requires co-operation between multiple parties and consideration given to relocation of existing occupiers, if the site is to be redeveloped.
10.18 Where opportunities arise, the Council will consider the acquisition of new sites in order to secure community benefit or control new development, which in some cases may provide an opportunity to generate revenue from its landholdings, which it can reinvest into the community.
10.19 Where the Council does not own the land and it appears that development identified in the Core Strategy is not coming forward in a timely manner, the Council will use its compulsory purchase powers to allow development to progress.
Development management
10.20 Together with the London Plan, the Local Development Framework will be the main basis for decision-making and managing development in the Borough. The Core Strategy is the cornerstone document, to which all the other documents in the LDF relate. In order to manage development and make decisions on planning applications, it will be supported by a Development Management Development Plan Document (DPD) Enfield Design Guide Supplementary Planning Document and Sites Schedule DPD. For the Borough’s strategic growth areas of North East Enfield, Central Leeside, Enfield Town and the North Circular area, the Area Action Plans will provide more detailed guidance on sites, in order to guide and manage new development. The Council’s policies on Waste will be implemented through the North London Joint Waste Plan being produced by Barnet, Camden, Enfield, Hackney, Haringey, Islington and Waltham Forest Councils.
10.21 Monitoring is a key component of the new planning system. PPS12 on Local Spatial Planning requires that Core Strategies must set out clear arrangements for monitoring the effectiveness of policies in meeting plan objectives. Under the Town And Country Planning (Local Development Regulations) 2004, planning authorities are required to prepare an Annual Monitoring Report. LDFs need to be reviewed regularly to assess how well their policies and proposals are being implemented and to ensure that they are up to date. Monitoring provides the objective basis necessary for such reviews. This section presents the monitoring framework for the individual core policies which are set out throughout the earlier chapters, setting out the performance indicators to be measured for the Annual Monitoring Report, alongside clear targets or measurable outcomes for each core policy.
10.22 The process of annual monitoring will enable the Council to assess whether or not the objectives of the Core Strategy are being met. If it is found that objectives are not being met, and the Council has explored the identified contingency plans, then the Council may seek an early review of the Core Strategy.
10.23 The Council is currently reviewing the range of indicators required to be collected for each policy. The indicators identified are measured at either national (NI - National Indicators), regional or local (COI - Core Output Indicators, LI - Local Output Indicators, SE - Significant Effects Indicators, CX - Contextual Indicators)level, and the appropriate reference for each is provided.
