Planning obligations, or S106 agreements, are an established mechanism for mitigating planning effects arising from development proposals. The agreements are usually negotiated within the context of planning applications, between local planning authorities and persons with an interest in the piece of land (owners, leaseholders or developers). They are intended to make development acceptable, which would otherwise be unacceptable in planning terms. 2. Any S106 monies generated from planning agreements must be spent on their intended purpose and ensure that the associated development contributes to the sustainability of the area by addressing the impacts of the development proposals. As a result, expendi ture of S106 funds must relate to a specific development and must be in accordance with the corresponding legal agreements. If a contribution is not used for the intended purpose or not spent within the period allocated in the S106 agreement, the monies may need to be returned. S106 contribution held at case reference PT/286/604B Details of contribution 3. A contribution of £76,030.26 (including indexation) has been received in accordance with a S106 planning agreement dated 25th August 2023 and Deed of Variation dated17th June 2025. It relates to the redevelopment of the former Northwood and Pinner Cottage Hospital site, Pinner Road, Northwood to include the partial demolition, refurbishment and extension Cabinet Member Report – 8 April 2026 Part 1 Public of the existing Cottage Hospital to provide a state- of-the-art health centre and the comprehensive redevelopment of the remaining Site to provide residential (Use Class C3) accommodation and ancillary works including car parking, cycle parking, landscaping and associated works (Phased Development) (planning reference 23658/APP/2021/1296). 4. The funds received as the Highway Works Contribution, are to be used towards local highway accessibility improvements including (but not limited to) the provision of dropped kerbs and tactile paving at specific locations listed in para 9 below, reconstruct ion of the existing pedestrian refuse on Pinner Way outside 185 Pinner Road, resurfacing the footway on the northern side of Pinner Road between Pinner Road and Addison Way and bus stop H, and remarking bus cages. Funds are to be spent within 7 years of receipt (Jan 2032). Planning background 5. The Council delegated authority to determine the above planning application to the Head of Planning, Transportation and Regeneration subject to the prior completion of a S106 agreement to secure several planning obligations, including a contribution towards local highway accessibility improvements. The contribution was required to mitigate the impact of the proposal which was expected to generate several hundred new pedestrian trips and result in additional demand on the local footway, cycling and transport infrastructure. 6. In line with TFL guidance, the Highway Authority carried out an Active Travel Zone assessment of the area which identified a number of interventions to cater for the uplift in pedestrian and cycle flows that the development was expected to generate. Follow ing costing of the works to determine the level of contribution required and the satisfactory completion of the S106 agreement, planning permission was subsequently approved and the above contribution duly received. Proposed allocation 7. Officers are requesting that the contribution held at PT/286/604B (£76,030.26) is allocated towards pedestrian accessibility improvements around the new Northwood and Pinner Health Centre as outlined in paragraphs 8-15 below Project Proposal: Highways & accessibility improvements around Northwood & Pinner Health Centre, Northwood 8. The planning application for the partial redevelopment of the Northwood Cottage Hospital into a state of the art Health Centre included a contribution to deliver dropped kerbs with tactile paving at specified locations; reconstruction of the existing pedestrian refuge on Pinner Way and resurfacing the footway on the northern side of Pinner Road between Addison Way and bus stop H. 9. The S106 agreement for the site, outlines the junctions w here dropped kerbs with tactile paving and localised resurfacing are to be provided, these are: • Neal Close eastern site entrance; • Neal Close western site entrance; • Neal Close junction with Acre Way; • Acre Way junction with Addison Way; Cabinet Member Report – 8 April 2026 Part 1 Public • Addison Close junction with Pinner Road. 10. It should be noted that Addison Close does not connect with Pinner Road, so there is no junction at this location for improvement. Therefore, there is no requirement for the works here so only four junctions will be taken forward for upgrade works and will be provided with dropped kerbs and tactile paving. The funding which was estimated for the ‘Addison Close junction with Pinner Road’ works will be allocated to the proposed footway works outlined below to allow slightly more footway to be improved. 11. The S106 agreement al so outlines a requirement for the rebuilding of the existing pedestrian refuge on ‘Pinner Way outside 185 Pinner Road’. It should be noted that ‘Pinner Way’ should read ‘Pinner Road’. The refuge island in this area is in a poor state of repair and neither the dropped kerbs nor the centre of the island has tactile paving provision. It is proposed to upgrade the crossing to make it more accessible and provide tactile paving to ensure improved safety for those crossing in this location. 12. The final highway improvement outline in the application is for the resurfacing of the footway on the northern side of Pinner Road between Addison Way and Bus Stop H (180 metres). Due to the removal of one new dropped kerb and tactile paving from the scheme, a further section of footway res urfacing will be undertaken. The footway improvements will allow a safer and more accessible footway between the bus stop and the centre. 13. A plan of the area of the proposed works is provided in Appendix B. 14. The Council is working with NHS Property Services Ltd. to ensure coordination of these works with the opening of the new Northwood Health Centre: The new Northwood Health Centre – the build is underway :: North West London ICS 15. The works will be undertaken by the Council’s term highway contractor O’Hara, with designs and cost estimates being overseen by the Council’s Highways Engineers. 16. Capital release of £76,030 is requested towards the cost of the proposed works detailed in this report. The costs associated with the scheme are outlined in Table 1 below. Table 1: Cost Plan Scheme Element Amount Dropped Kerb Works (4 locations) £22,000 Pedestrian Refuge Works £21,500 Footway & Bus Stop Works £24,930 Civil Works Total (including contingency) £68,430 Fees (10%) £6,843 Design fee £757 Cabinet Member Report – 8 April 2026 Part 1 Public Financial Implications (S106 2025/26 Budget £76k; Previously Released Nil, Capital Release Requested £76k) – Appendix A The report seeks the allocation and capital release of £76k from the S106 contribution held at PT/286/604B relating to Northwood & Pinner Cottage Hospital Site, Pinner Road, Northwood towards highways and accessibility improvement works around the Northwood & Pinner Health Centre. The cost of the scheme is based on scheduled rates within the Council’s highways term contract and includes engineer fees of 10% of all costs and contingency of 10% of Civil works. The release of the funding will enable the project to progress. The proposals meet the conditions stipulated by the developer in the S106 agreement on the intended use of the S106 contribution. RESIDENT BENEFIT & CONSULTATION The benefit or impact upon Hillingdon residents, service users and communities? The recommendations will enable external funds to be spent to maximum effect to provide viable improvements for the benefit of local communities.
