Councillor Charlie Maynard, Executive Member for Planning and Sustainable Development, introduced the report, which considered the Council’s Local Plan Annual Monitoring Report for the two-year period 2021-2023.
Non-Executive Members addressed the Executive about the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL). The Planning Policy Manager stated that consultants were routinely producing viability evidence relating to the Levy, and that results were anticipated in the coming weeks. A report to the Executive on the subject matter was anticipated in Spring 2024.

The Executive also confirmed intentions to ask the Local Plan Cross Party Member Working Group to discuss the Annual Monitoring Report, in conjunction with the Planning Policy Manager.
