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, 2 and 3.

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 Interests Declared: Councillor Lee Parker declared a local non pecuniary interest in respect of Bid B19-05 Newton is his capacity as a Trustee of the Newton Green Trust.

Any Dispensation Granted: None

 

Minutes:

The Cabinet Member for Planning introduced the report and provided Members with details of the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) bids contained in the report. Councillor Arthey moved the recommendations.

 

In response to a query from Councillor Ward, the Professional Lead for Key Sites and Infrastructure confirmed that the correct figure for the bid from East Bergholt was £14,333, as detailed in the recommendation.

 

Councillor Holt commented that Members should be ensuring that parishes were aware of the available funding and assist them in understanding the application procedures.

 

With regard to bid B19-15 Lavenham, it was confirmed that the money applied for was for funding of the car park and electric vehicle charging points and not the environmental clear up from the sites previous use as a gas works.

 

The recommendations were seconded by Councillor Busby.
