Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) in RBKC
The Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) is a new power which
enables a charge to be levied on the net increase in gross internal
area floorspace arising from development in order to fund
infrastructure that is needed to support development in the
area.
The Mayor of London is proposing a CIL for Greater London for
which a charge of £50/m2 will be levied in the Royal Borough,
although medical/health services and schools/colleges are proposed
to have a zero or nil charge (£0/m2) from 1 April
2012.
For further information visit our dedicated CIL webpage.

Consultation on revisions to the Planning Application
Validation Checklist
The consultation on the proposed revisions to the Planning
Application Validation Checlist has now ended. The changes are
in relation to the fact that all planning applications are now
subject to the Planning Obligations SPD, not just major
applications. This is particularly important for those applications
which involve a net increase in residential units. More information
can be found at the Revisions to the
Planning Application Validation Checklist and the Planning Obligations SPD webpages.

Borough up to 2028 along with specific strategic policies and
targets, development management policies and site allocations.

Earl's Court and West Kensington Opportunity Area
Have your say on the future of the Earl’s Court and West
Kensington
“West London’s New Urban Quarter”
The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea (RBKC), London
Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham (LBHF) and Mayor of London (GLA)
are producing a planning framework for the Earl’s Court and West
Kensington Opportunity Area. The framework will help guide
development within the Opportunity Area and will be taken into
account in deciding planning applications. It will supplement
planning policies in the two boroughs’ Development Plans and in the
London Plan.
As a step on the way to producing the framework, we have
produced the Earl’s Court and West Kensington
Opportunity Area Draft Joint Supplementary Planning
Document. It is called a ‘draft’ planning document
because it is not finalised – we are asking for people’s views on
it first, and there is a lot more work to do before it is completed
and adopted.
