Cabinet Member for Planning
Decision:
It was RESOLVED:-
1.1 That the CIL Expenditure Business Plan (September 2019) and accompanying technical assessments of the CIL Bids forming Appendices A and B of the report and which include decisions on valid Bids for Cabinet to make and those for Cabinet to note be approved as follows: -
Decisions for Cabinet to note: Local Infrastructure Fund
CIL Bid, Location and Infrastructure Proposed |
Amount of CIL Bid and total cost of the Infrastructure |
Delegated Decision |
M19-01 Stowupland Trinity Meadows Development Church Road New Parish Notice Board (revised specification to CIL Bid M10-18 (so as to match other Notice Boards in the village) |
Amount of CIL Bid £396.26 Total cost £692.52 |

Amount of CIL Bid £9600.00 Total cost £9600.00 |
Cabinet to note: - Delegated decision taken on 6th August 2019 |
1.2 That Cabinet noted and endorsed the CIL Business Plan which included the position reached on all undetermined/outstanding Bids together with the up to date position in respect of approved CIL Bids from Rounds 1 and 2.
Reason for Decision: Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) monies have been collected since the implementation of CIL on the 11th April 2016. The CIL Expenditure Framework originally adopted in April 2018 and reviewed with amendments adopted on the 18th March 2019 requires the production of a CIL Business Plan for each District which contains decisions for Cabinet to make 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 different approaches was identified in Appendix A of the Framework for CIL Expenditure report provided to Cabinet’s on the 5th and 8th of 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 above by Council decision in April 2018 which were subsequently reviewed and adopted on the 19th March 2019 (Babergh) and 18th March 2019 (Mid Suffolk).
Any Declarations of Interest Declared: None
Any Dispensation Granted: None
Minutes:
The Cabinet Member for Planning introduced the report and provided an overview of the CIL bids detailed in the report. It was noted that bid numbers M13-18 and M16-18 had been withdrawn by Suffolk County Council, and provisions had been made to M14-18 involving new costings and details.
Councillor Burn moved the recommendations in the report. This was seconded by Councillor Flatman.
Councillor Burn confirmed that the final sentence of paragraph 8.9 of the report was to be deleted and all references to Babergh District Council amended to Mid Suffolk District Council. Councillor Eburne commented that the figures included in paragraph 6.8 of the report also refer to Babergh District Council. The Professional Lead – Key Sites and Infrastructure confirmed these would be amended.
Members were advised by the Professional Lead – Key Sites and Infrastructure that an Infrastructure Delivery Plan had been published which highlights where the authorities’ priorities for infrastructure funding and spending will lie in relation to growth. It was also confirmed that an Expenditure Framework Review would be taking place before the beginning of bid round 5.
It was further noted that Recommendation 3.1 of the report was to be amended to read M19-04 Thurston Sandpit Lane.
