Oxfordshire County Council v Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government [2015] EWHC 186 (Admin) is a case in which the Council challenged an Inspector’s finding that a s106 monitoring fee was not compliant with Reg 122 CIL Regulations.

In a detailed consideration of the origin and operation of Regulation 122, Mrs Justice Lang dismissed the claim and found that there was nothing irrational in the Inspector’s finding that a monitoring fee was not necessary to make the development acceptable in planning terms.

Richard Kimblin appeared for the Secretary of State.
