Utterly perverse Neighbourhood CIL decision from Haringey's cabinet

[Adrian Essex]

You may remember the recent consultation by Haringey on Neighbourhood Community Infrastructure Levy.

Haringey consulted over whether to abandon the neighbourhood approach to neighbourhood CIL, and replace it with a Borough approach to neighbourhood CIL - ie. to scrap the 85% sent to Haringey rule in favour of 100%.

The result of the consultation was -

•  "8.3   During the five-week consultation period, 86 responses were received. 27 responses (31.4%) supported the draft amendments, 50 responses (58.1%) opposed the draft amendments and 9 responses (10.5%) did not indicate a clear for or against position."

So, they've decided to go ahead and do it anyway despite cogent arguments against.

Of the 7 council areas, Noel Park and Harringay lose the most from a £1.2m allocation to net of £255k. Everyone else gets more than the original allocation (Hornsey goes from £144K to £184K).

This is disgusting. As someone who participated in the consultation, I also received an email about it. I was quite annoyed and sent a long, somewhat rambling response. I did not get a reply.

What is the council playing at? Noel Park needs that money.

More proof that there’s no such thing as democracy on the local level in the UK.
