1.2 Cabinet noted and endorsed this CIL Expenditure Programme which included the position in respect of approved CIL Bids from Rounds 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 (including Cabinet decisions in December 2020) – (Appendix A Section B of the report) together with details of emerging infrastructure/CIL Bids (Appendix A Section B of the report).
Reason for Decision: Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) monies have been collected since the implementationof CILon the11thApril 2016.The CILExpenditure Frameworkoriginally adopted inApril 2018and reviewedwith amendmentsadopted onthe 18thMarch 2019 and with further amendments on the 20th April 2020 requires the production of a CIL Expenditure Programme for each District. This contains decisions for Cabinet tomake or note on CIL Bids for CIL expenditure. These decisions relating to the expenditure of CIL monies form one of the ways in which necessary infrastructure supporting growth is delivered.
Alternative Options Considered and Rejected: There is a diverse spectrum of approaches to CIL expenditure across the country from Unitary Authorities who have absorbed CIL into their individual Capital Programmes to others who ringfence all funds to be spent locally. A range of differet approaches was identified in Appendix A of the Framework for CIL Expenditure report provided to Cabinet’s on the 5th and 8th February 2018 and discussed in full during the workshops with the Joint Member advisory panel. Members adopted the documents set out in paragraph 1.1 of the report by Council decision in April 2018 which were subsequently reviewed and adopted on the 19th March 2019 (Babergh) and 18th March 2019 (Mid Suffolk) and further reviewed and adopted by both Councils on the 20th April 2020.
Any Declarations of Interest Declared: Councillor Brewster declared a local non-pecuniary interest in respect of Bid number M20-19 and M20-22 in his capacity as President of Stowmarket District Scouts.
