Report DRR18/001

The Mayoral Community Infrastructure Levy (MCIL2) Draft Charging Schedule (DSC) public consultation towards Crossrail was due to end on 4 February 2018.  The report considered by Members contained background detail and outlined points and concerns from the London Borough of Bromley’s perspective, which enabled the suggested formal response attached as Appendix 1 to the report.

It was suggested that the Council object to the proposed Charging Schedule due to:-

·  the adverse impact on provision of local infrastructure such as education and health;

·  the limited benefit to Bromley residents of Crossrail 2; and

·  the impact on other transport projects.

Councillor Fawthrop referred to LBB v GLC 1981 (Fares Fair) which was overturned because benefits would not accrue into Bromley from a policy that was yet again top down centralisation and perhaps reference should be made to this in the Council's response. 

RESOLVED that the approach to object to the Charging Schedule and the suggested response be endorsed.
