Properties built in the vicinity of the River Wandle in Collier's Wood, such as in Merton High Street, are subject to flood warnings and alerts from time to time. If you are concerned that a property you are looking to buy is in a flood risk area, you should consider getting a flood risk report (click for more details). | Some properties in Colliers Wood may be located in an area which is subject to a Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL). A recent local authority search for a property in Griffiths Road, Merton, SW19 1SS revealed that it was within a CIL area. The Community Infrastructure Levy is a planning charge, introduced by the Planning Act 2008 as a tool for local authorities in England and Wales to help deliver infrastructure to support the development of their area. It came into force on 6 April 2010 through the Community Infrastructure Levy Regulations 2010. Development may be liable for a charge under the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL), if your local planning authority has chosen to set a charge in its area.
