d) That if by the 24th August 2010, the S106 Agreement has not been finalised, delegated powers be given to the Head of Planning and Enforcement to refuse planning permission for the following reasons:

1. The development is not considered to have made adequate provision, through planning obligations, for contributions towards affordable housing provision, educational facilities, healthcare facilities, community facilities, library facilities, construction training, off site recreational & sports facilities and project monitoring & management. Given that a legal agreement or unilateral undertaking has not been secured to address this issue, the proposal is considered to be

contrary to Policy R17 of the Hillingdon Unitary Development Plan Saved Policies (September 2007), Policies 3A.9, 3A.10, 3A.11, 6A.4 and 6A.5 of the London Plan and the Council's Supplementary Planning Document for Planning Obligations (Adopted July 2008).
