Monitoring Fee - Strategy
Dear Tower Hamlets Borough Council,
S106 agreements for many developments include a monitoring fee to ensure conditions placed on the development are upheld.
What strategy does Tower Hamlets employ with regard to the monitoring fee charged?
Does the council have a document identifying a strategy for the monitoring fee, if so please provide a copy of that strategy?
How does the council address planning conditions where a monitoring fee isn't charged?
Yours faithfully,
Ralph Hardwick
