"Crossrail levy 'sliding scale' suggested

Katie Daubney, PlanningResource, 23 February 2009

Mayor of London Boris Johnson should consider levying Crossrail funding on a sliding scale, according to the London Assembly's Planning and Housing Committee.
In its response to the consultation on proposed alterations to the London Plan to help fund Crossrail, the Committee recommends that developers should contribute according to how much an area is expected to benefit from Crossrail, and on developments along the route both within and outside the Central Activity Zone (CAZ).
The committee feels that some parts of the CAZ will not benefit as much from Crossrail as some of the major centres outside the Zone.
Spreading the charge across more areas of London would alleviate the burden – and possible deterrent effect - on potential developers in the CAZ.
Planning and Housing Committee chairwoman Nicky Gavron said: The mayor needs to look outside the Central Activity Zone for Section 106 contributions and seriously consider charging the levy on a sliding scale, or risk overburdening areas that may not even see real benefits from Crossrail, like parts of Southwark, Lambeth and Hackney.
