Redevelopment at the Cooltan site on Coldharbour Lane, Brixton

[Brixton Hatter]

i had a peek through the gates yesterday....very little work appears to have been done apart from the construction of a load of portacabin type things down one side. The thing in the picture above ^^^^ looks like it will be a sales office or something.

Im a bit confused here. Is this a Barrret development? As the Planning committee meeting where this was last discussed names Places for People Group as applicant.

http://www.lambeth.gov.uk/moderngov/ieListDocuments.aspx?CId=441&MID=7151

A section106 agreement has been agreed. A Deed of Variation on 21/4/2011 between Places for People Group and Lambeth Council.

Point 12 of Deed says that developer pay for / provide following as part of agreement of application:

£30 000 for maintenance of open space
£23 500 for local environmental improvements
£6 500 for car club
£178 010 for local education

Also provision and permanent retention of affordable housing as laid down in 6.3.4 (which I cannot find. Must be an officers report somewhere).

Permanent retention of business accommodation to provide local employment.

Can someone remind me how S106 works with Lambeth? I'm interested to see where that £178k gets allocated...
