This module will allow you to see the planning data from Runnymede Borough Council in an interface powered by EXACOM    . All information shown here has been approved by Runnymede Borough Council, and the extent of the information available to the public is also controlled entirely by the authority. Key features include the local Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) dashboard, the application lookup facility, and the CIL calculator. Below is a message from Runnymede Borough Council:

CIL
The Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) is a charge on new development and will be used to fund improvements to infrastructure required in Runnymede. Use the online calculator for an indication of how much CIL you will be liable to pay for a development or use the CIL Dashboard and Applications pages to track and view more about how CIL is being handled by the council. The site automatically updates every evening and shows all CIL data from 1 March 2021 when this Council started charging CIL.

The Dashboard displays amounts collected and available for both Neighbourhood CIL and Strategic CIL. See the Council’s Developer Contributions Governance Arrangements for more details on how CIL is allocated to each ‘pot’. The Governance Arrangements also explain how the Council will run an annual CIL Funding Programme and how projects will be selected for the use of CIL monies.

In order to understand how much Neighbourhood CIL is available to spend in each ‘relevant area’ of the borough, click on the ‘Ward’ option on the top left hand side; then click on the ‘filter criteria’ field; and then select the following wards from the drop-down list before checking the amount shown in the ‘Available’ column:

CIL Area 1: Woodham & Rowtown Ward AND New Haw Ward
CIL Area 2: Ottershaw Ward
CIL Area 3: Addlestone South Ward AND Addlestone North Ward
CIL Area 4: Chertsey Riverside Ward AND Chertsey St Ann’s Ward
CIL Area 5: Longcross, Lyne & Chertsey South Ward
CIL Area 6: Virginia Water Ward
CIL Area 7: Thorpe Ward AND Thorpe Neighbourhood Forum
CIL Area 8: Egham Hythe Ward AND Egham Town Ward
CIL Area 9: Englefield Green East Ward AND Englefield Green West Ward AND Englefield Neighbour Forum
PLEASE NOTE THAT A WARD WILL ONLY APPEAR ON THE DROP DOWN LIST IF MONIES HAVE BEEN COLLECTED IN THAT WARD
 
The drop-down list also includes some ward names which have now been superseded by new boundaries – these appear as they relate to historic S106 Agreements and should not be used for CIL availability searches.

S106
The Council has S106 agreements back to 1947 and as such we are currently working on a long-term project to get historical S106’s into the Exacom system and into the public domain (working from 2022 back to 1947).

Any S106 agreements completed in 2023 and beyond will be uploaded and logged onto the Exacom system as soon as possible, after grant of planning consent(s).  Any data (financial or otherwise) for these agreements will be updated and as when it happens. 

The Council’s main aim currently, in regard to S106 agreements, has been to make the S106 agreements for the last 3 years available to view however, at this time it has not been possible to also work through these agreements to ensure that all the financial and other covenants are up to date on Exacom.

If a S106 is not showing on this Public Facing Module (and is Pre 2023) then you will need to contact planningadmin@runnymede.gov.uk to obtain a copy, and costs will apply for this service.

Please note that covenants within S106’s (1947 to today) which relate to either Surrey County Council or the “Highways Authority” are dealt with by Surrey County Council and any enquiries should be directed to them in the first instance (S106@surreycc.gov.uk). And will also not be updated on this system.
