Minutes:

Councillor Carl Rylett, Cabinet Member for Planning and Sustainable Development, introduced the item on the Infrastructure Funding Statement (IFS) for 2021/22. He noted that the statement set out details of contributions and spending priorities and had to be published each year.

 

Councillor St John raised a number of questions about the some of the figures which related to planning consents granted many years ago and asked about the £5.4m received through planning obligations which had not been allocated. He also asked why the review of Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) had dropped off the Cabinet Work Programme.

 

Councillor Rylett explained that S106 money was received when a scheme was completed rather than when planning approval was given. He said that it had been agreed in May that the CIL review should be taken forward but there had been delays and officers were now considering whether to progress the review as planned or whether to dovetail it into the Local Plan. He said that the Cabinet recognised that the CIL Schedule needed to progress and agreed that it should be restored to the Cabinet Work Plan.

 

That Cabinet Resolved to:

a)    Note the content of the Infrastructure Funding Statement (IFS) with a view to it being published on the Council’s website by 31 December 2022 in accordance with legislative requirements.

b)    To reinstate Community Infrastructure Levy as an item on the Cabinet Work Programme.
