In some circumstances, S106 is the most appropriate way of securing developer contributions, in others CIL is more appropriate. The determining factor is the value to be derived from development against the cost of infrastructure. CIL is useful for the mitigation of cumulative impacts but does not currently function when the total cost of infrastructure will not be supported by the income from the levy. The Borough Council should give close consideration to the potential benefits of implementing of a tariff-based charge, but will clearly need to be mindful of the changes being proposed by Government.
